(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith) 1 'Tis midnight -- and on Olive's brow The star is dimmed that lately shone; 'Tis midnight -- in the garden now The suff'ring Savior prays alone. 2 'Tis midnight -- and from all removed The Savior wrestles … Continue reading #119: ‘Tis Mdnight — and on Olive’s Brow

What is Truth?
Running busy from workday to workday, and this evening music rehearsals. So thought this video would be good to link to: What is Truth? It certainly isn't science.

(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith) 1 He was wounded for our transgressions, He bore our sins in His body on the tree; For our guilt He gave us peace, From our bondage gave release, And with His stripes, and with His stripes, And … Continue reading #117: He was Wounded for Our Transgressions
MidAmeriCon II: Dead Dog Reflections
This morning my Facebook gave me a memory post from last year which said: Off the cuff reflection on the Hugos: When those without power speak truth to those in power, it can be amazing exactly how childish those in power choose to be.

Being Weird with Weird Al
I don't attend rock concerts -- as a general rule. But I did attend one Sunday Night. Weird Al Yankovic was in concert at Starlight Theatre in Kansas City, so I went, equipped with ear plugs, and had a good time. My cultural references aren't that good, so I only recognized parts of the parodies, … Continue reading Being Weird with Weird Al
