I know it has been a long time since I have recorded and posted any songs from my childhood hymnal Great Hymns of the Faith, but at the moment I expect it to be awhile longer yet. I have been considering restarting that blog feature for, well, quite awhile, really, but as you can see … Continue reading Old Hymns on hold
Author: Sir Rhodri
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.
On the one side, then again, on the other side …
The demolition project is progressing, focusing on a section of the house damaged by fire. Photos show varying damage levels on different sides, with plans to convert the area into a walkout deck. To legally re-enter the house, two permits are needed, with estimated costs around $10,000 to achieve within 28 days.

(Note: the below is a draft of a post I had started in May of 2023. At that time I couldn't know that I had but a few more months of peace at Gloria Dei before being sent once more out as a religious refugee. So read the below, with the accuracy of hindsight, to … Continue reading Dr. Geoff Wilcken
Through The Legal Labyrinth
It seems hard for me to believe that it has been almost three weeks since I posted a blog. I keep on thinking of things to write about, on our recovery from arson journey, but let the work of the journey take up my time and don't write them. The course of the journey, our … Continue reading Through The Legal Labyrinth
“All Things Come Alike to All …”
I am a cantankerous, obstinate, disagreeable, old man. All my life long I have tried my best to get along with everyone, while being unwilling merely to go along with whatever is going on. If something doesn't seem right, doesn't seem to line up with the truth, I am obstinate about allowing it to pass, … Continue reading “All Things Come Alike to All …”
Methodists are Polytheists?!?
Just another lie from the people who think cute is better than true ... So I was shocked the other day to learn that Methodists are polytheists. I saw the above sign, talking about multiple Gods, and wondered when they had forgotten about Deuteronomy 6:4 - "The LORD our God, the LORD is one " … Continue reading Methodists are Polytheists?!?
Month One
Today marks one month since the arson fire that burned down our home and drastically affected our lifestyle. Right after the fire I projected a year-long (12 month) timeline to get ourselves back into the house. At one point in the month I conjectured a possible three month timeline, with a caveat of up to … Continue reading Month One
Back into flight
Well we came in for a landing, on an aircraft carrier that got hit by a torpedo right after, but we were able to get back into flight before the ship sank, but not without moderate damage. I am not sure what the scam was, nor why my friend thought it was permissible to betray … Continue reading Back into flight
Coming in for a landing
Well, it looks like our days of roaming hotels after the fire may be coming to an end. We still have a long ways to getting back into our house. cleanup and restoration are just starting to truly get underway. But in the meantime it looks like we will soon have that interim place to … Continue reading Coming in for a landing
Establishing a timeline
Of course the house fire (arson) occurred while I was trying to treat a medical condition. Treating the infected leg has hampered the attempts to clean up the damage/rubble at the house. Likewise, the fire and its aftermath complicated treating the leg and ulimately made it take longer than I think it should have. I … Continue reading Establishing a timeline
