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.

Ballot Preview: final state offices

Well the final State Offices on the ballot are a little bit of a letdown for me. The 5th District in the U.S. Representative is a three-way race.

It is interesting, when translating those into … Continue reading Fitness Update: Minutes tracking →

Alleluia! 1 The strife is o'er -- the battle done, The victory of life is won; The long of triumph has begun: Alleluia! 2 The pow'rs of death have done their worst, But Christ their legions … Continue reading #133: The Strife Is O’er →

On The Ballot: More State Offices

I've been going through the ballot I'll have to vote on Nov. 8, and looking at the options available to me. None of my views are set in stone. I welcome comments from people to help broaden my perspective. That said, I also don't take my positions on whims (though last week I bemoaned how … Continue reading On The Ballot: More State Offices →

A Blast of the Past #66: Proctor Birthday Party

Next we see Nathan invited to the Birthday party of Matthew Proctor, at a nature center here in the Northlands. They had a lot of fun outside, and then the usual party with cake, but the cake was a worm cake. See pictures below. I used the same idea of the worm cake and … Continue reading A Blast of the Past #66: Proctor Birthday Party →
