(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith) 1 Day is dying in the west, Heav'n is touching earth with rest; Wait and worship while the night Sets her evening lamps alight Thru all the sky. CHORUS Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of Hosts! Heav'n and … Continue reading #78: Day is Dying in the West

fitness update: app issues
Well I am continuing to enjoy my Misfit Shine, but the app still does things that irritate me from time to time. I finally learned that I can change tagging activities without having to double sync, but I have to toggle screens and see the "saved changes" message or else it hasn't worked. My lap … Continue reading fitness update: app issues
#77: Sun of My Soul
(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith) 1 Sun of my soul, Thou Savior dear, It is not night if Thou be near; O may no earth-born cloud arise To hid Thee from thy servant's eyes! 2 When the soft dews of kindly sleep My … Continue reading #77: Sun of My Soul
If I don’t want you to like me, then you can’t ….
I know, twice in one week, do a shared post, unheard of by me. But I thought this one silly. The shared blog below shows that some people are afraid of being nominated by anyone who is in any way associated with the "Sad Puppy" movement. They are telling people they aren't allowed to nominate … Continue reading If I don’t want you to like me, then you can’t ….
A Blast of the Past #39: First Haircut

Sin and want we come confessing, Thou canst save, and thou canst heal. 2 Tho destruction walk around us, Tho the arrows past us fly, Angel-guards from … Continue reading #76: Savior, Breath an Evening Blessing
Missouri Primary
When I looked up a link to find out who was on the ballot for the presidential primary for today, I was surprised by the information I found in this story. There are apparently four parties with ballots. Though I consider myself philosophically a libertarian (small 'l'), I'm not finding myself drawn to the five … Continue reading Missouri Primary
Fitness: The Point System
This week's fitness report will start with a commentary on my fitness tracking accessory: The Misfit Shine. Unlike the Fitbit pedometer that my wife uses, the Misfit Shine tracks my multiple activities -- running, cycling, swimming -- using a point system. So I can blend the three any way that the day and workout allows, … Continue reading Fitness: The Point System
