Jesus loves the little children, All the children of the world Red and yellow, black and white, They are precious in His sight. Jesus loves the little children of the world. Above is how I learned the song Jesus Loves the Little Children when I was growing up. I probably knew it that way for … Continue reading “Every Shade From Dark to Light”
A Blast of the Past #51: Home Sewn Clothes
Around Easter of 2002 I was in a sewing phase. I'd done some of my own Ren Fest, and got a bug. Did decent work, but nothing exceptional, and certainly the tailoring of fit wasn't always the best. But here are some of the examples:
Places and Worlds
Okay, today's post is much later than normal. It is also going to be different than normal. Yes, there is still the Wine festival at Worlds of Fun, but that is all I am going to say about it. The Worlds in the headline is the subject of the Songflower Chorale concert that I am … Continue reading Places and Worlds
#97: There’s a Song in the Air!
(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith) 1 There's a song in the Air! There's a star in the sky" There's a mother's deep prayer And a baby's low cry!

An equal share of …. what?
For the healing of the nations, Lord, we pray with one accord; for a just and equal sharing of the things that earth affords; to a life of love in action help us rise and pledge our word, help us rise and pledge our word. The above quotation is verse one of "For the Healing … Continue reading An equal share of …. what?

Today's run was 12 miles a 1:57:42. I knew going in that I was running a little slower. The … Continue reading Fitness Update: Running and Racing
#96: As with Gladness Men of Old
(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith) 1 As with gladness men of old Did the guiding star behold -- As with joy they hailed its light, Leading onward, beaming bright! -- So, most gracious Lord, may we Evermore be led to Thee. 2 As … Continue reading #96: As with Gladness Men of Old
The State of Bicycle Shops
I'm really no qualified to make comments, my experience being very eclectic, but I will anyway. There could be other shops out there that I am not aware of, but from the perspective of what I know, it seems like the market is getting scarcer for suppliers to cyclists -- which is odd, considering that … Continue reading The State of Bicycle Shops
A Blast of the Past #50: Winter 2002
Today's post is a vignette of the fun of a winter past. It includes scenes outside in the snow, and inside snuggling and playing. There are even a couple of shots of longtime friend Lester Morris, whom like many friends from days gone by, we haven't seen in awhile.
Races leading to the weekend
This week's wrap includes an event that is occurring this evening, and actually started last night. The Kansas City Corporate Challenge bicycle race began last night, and finishes up today. I'm slated to race tonight sometime after 5:30 p.m. I almost didn't race, with my bicycle breaking down on Tuesday -- and that after I … Continue reading Races leading to the weekend
