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.
Ordain –A word study
I was, for whatever reason, singing the Preamble song from Schoolhouse Rock earlier this weak, when my mind pinged on the word Ordain in the Preamble.

It is actually quite a good one. 1 Ride on" ride on in majesty! Hark! all the tribes hosanna cry; … Continue reading #109: Ride On! Ride On in Majesty!

Fitness update: summer workout vacation
Note the headline. That isn't summer vacation, but a vacation from a workout schedule in the summer. Didn't do much this past week. No swimming laps, just floating around Oceans of Fun pools. Did two 5Ks, which was probably the highlight of the workout for the week. For the bicycle there was 58 miles, most … Continue reading Fitness update: summer workout vacation
