Creational and relational type Renaissance man (writer, singer, thinker) holding to C.S Lewis's credo that if you follow truth originality takes care of itself, (anyway, originality is so yesterday, anyway.) That I have my wonderful wife Jasini is proof enough for me that life isn't fair. If it was fair I wouldn't have her, and instead she is my most faithful example that I am blessed beyond measure. My two adult children are the same unmerited blessing to me. We should all be thankful life is not fair but blessed.

So you can attend the park today and the rest of the week. But a warning: my daughter and I went over around 11:30 … Continue reading A Look Ahead … →

#191: Here, O My Lord, I See Thee Face to Face

(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith) 1 Here, O my Lord, I see Thee face to face, Here would I touch and handle things unseen, Here grasp with firmer hand eternal grace, And all my weariness upon Thee lean. 2 Here would I feed … Continue reading #191: Here, O My Lord, I See Thee Face to Face →

Worlds of Fun Celebrity

My original plan was to put together a video from the BBQ and Brew Festival at Worlds of Fun for today's post. I have one, and will be making comments here about the festival.
