Today's post is late and short. Seems the class I'd planned on taking this summer -- Digital Storytelling -- is being canceled. No idea if it was because of low attendance, or because of a change in the teacher's schedule. I was really excited about this class, the one elective choice that really gave me … Continue reading Summer Plans change
Fitness Update: Triathlon practices
This week I set two new personal records on my Misfit Shine. This means my combined activity for the day set a new record for total points earned. Part of that activity was a mini-triathlon at work on Monday. As part of a program at the Wellness Center I rowed 2000 meters, biked 8 miles … Continue reading Fitness Update: Triathlon practices

From “No king but King Jesus” to “King Government”
1 Samuel 8: 20: " That we also may be like all the nations; and that our king may judge us, and go out before us, and fight our battles." Today's post comes from a reflection on the above reading, which I came across (again) during my daily Bible reading. The emphasis (italics) is mine, … Continue reading From “No king but King Jesus” to “King Government”
A Blast of the Past #42:Fourth Birthday
One of the things from my own youth was a Betty Crocker cookbook for children. It had a macaroni and cheese with hot dogs recipe, and it had a castle cake that we made once for a birthday. With that memory in mind, I resurrected the plan for by daughter's fourth birthday. Only this time … Continue reading A Blast of the Past #42:Fourth Birthday
Any minor adversity is bearable if it yields a good story ….
This week I went to the NKC YMCA twice in the morning to swim. In fact, when I arrived right before opening on Wednesday there were a lot of trucks outside, workingman trucks, which made me wonder if perhaps the place was closed. I joined the line of people waiting. When they opened the doors, … Continue reading Any minor adversity is bearable if it yields a good story ….

How to face radical Islam
I don't think I could say it any better than this video. What I would like to add is that while Muslims must take the lead, the rest of us in America who aren't Muslims need to support those Muslims instead of showing fear and isolationist tendencies. We need to show they have the same … Continue reading How to face radical Islam
Fitness update: battery indicator error
This week I updated the battery on my MisFit Shine. Â The battery indicator on the app always seems to bounce all over the place: full, high, medium, low. But this week it went to very low, and when syncing brought up a video about how to change the battery. It also said the battery was … Continue reading Fitness update: battery indicator error
#80: Lord, Dismiss Us with Thy Blessing
(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith) 1 Lord, dismiss us with Thy blessing, Fill our hearts with joy and peace; Let us each, Thy love possessing, Triumph in redeeming grace: Triumph in redeeming grace: O refresh us, O refresh us, Trav'ling thru this wilderness. … Continue reading #80: Lord, Dismiss Us with Thy Blessing
