Today's post is about something that happened a week ago at Worlds of Fun. I went in the evening to grab supper and some entertainment, while avoiding the excessive, for me, atmosphere of the Halloween Haunt's Overlord's Awakening. The current trick is to drive in through the secondary entrance -- the Oceans of Fun parking … Continue reading Worlds of Fun: Park Denizens converse

#231: Jesus Saves!
(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith) 1 We have heard the joyful sound – Jesus saves! Jesus saves! Spread the tidings all around – Jesus saves! Jesus saves! Bear the news to ev’ry land, Climb the steeps and cross the waves; Onward ‘tis our … Continue reading #231: Jesus Saves!
Fitness Update: Rest
Another short fitness blog. Last week was a week of rest: my sleep tracker indicates my average sleep was longer than it has been in months. But this week I get an assessment and a 6-week plan to help meet my next goals -- whatever those are. So hopefully next week I will have a … Continue reading Fitness Update: Rest
The Age of Words
It was almost a year ago that I put a note into my possible post topics file about this. Still not sure I have enough to say, coherently, for a significant length post, but I'll cobble what I do have. My original note was to post about "people not letting me read their shirts". Since … Continue reading The Age of Words

Today's post is going to be a video post. I found and posted this first one on my Facebook feed with the comment: This might just be (gasp), one of the best justifications of "The White Man's Burden", ala Kipling ... to offset the complaints of "White Privilege" today.... Not realizing that a little bit … Continue reading
Fitness Update: Tendinitis?
Well, late and short both today, I guess. I got one 5K run in this past week. No swimming (shoulder pain -- possible tendinitis). Cycling -- 53 miles. So one category is well on track. Will see how this week goes -- whether doctor and tendinitis progresses or not.
#226: My Savior
(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith) 1 I am not skilled to understand What God hath willed, what God hath planned; I only know at His right hand Is One who is my Savior! 2 I take Him at His word indeed – “Christ … Continue reading #226: My Savior
Don’t be the Zax
And yet, they are both, unfortunately, based on the same fallacy. Everything is linked, rooted, blamed on race. Neither one can see beyond that frame to the individuals, the people around them. None of them form relationships to anyone but only to the race of a person. If you are one of the majority of … Continue reading Don’t be the Zax
