(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith) 1 How I praise the great Creator, Who did make this world so fair; As I scan the realm of nature I can see His image there. 2 In the steep and on the hiltop, There I find … Continue reading #25 The Great Creator
A Blast of the Past #21: College Reunion
I wrote a blog post about ten years before the reunion that is the subject of today's post. For this is the 10-year reunion. At graduation I had no idea where I was headed. At the five-year reunion I saw many people who were couples, and I was single. Yet my college sweetheart (we did … Continue reading A Blast of the Past #21: College Reunion
A Blast of the Past #20: Return to Caton
The summer of 1997 saw the Eastern branch of the family visit us in Missouri. The summer of 1998 was our turn to visit them. That summer they got to see what was then the youngest Lightfoot. We got to see some of them for the last time. Many of the pictures have both generations … Continue reading A Blast of the Past #20: Return to Caton
#24 We Magnify Our Father God
(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith) Again, not a hymn that I really know (I made the same comment with #22), but in this case I found it easy to play and read on the first go through, and laden with theology and the … Continue reading #24 We Magnify Our Father God
A Blast of the Past #19: Easter through the years
I came across these first couple of Easter pictures from 1998 and thought they were so cute, but I really didn't have enough with them alone to warrant a blog: So I decided to pick out photos from Easter through the years to augment the story. Quite interesting what years we took pictures, what ones … Continue reading A Blast of the Past #19: Easter through the years
A Blast of the Past #18: The Car
Betsy and I have only owned one new car each in our lives. It happens to be the same car, and we bought it in the spring of 1998. I remember it being bought at the end of April, almost on my birthday. That is how I remember when we bought it. It was at … Continue reading A Blast of the Past #18: The Car
A Blast of the Past #17: Carly’s First Birthday
To all you who have checked my blog regularly, and skimmed over my regurgitations and musings from one of my many coming textbooks, I give you a break between them, a pictorial stroll down family history past. There was a big present that first year: Big in size at least. As you see below it … Continue reading A Blast of the Past #17: Carly’s First Birthday
#23 Come, We That Love the Lord
(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith) This hymn is a very familiar hymn. If asked to give a good example of a common hymn, this could be it (though it might not be an example of a "true hymn", per the musical experts). It … Continue reading #23 Come, We That Love the Lord
Doing the math …
When you talk about math, most people think of arithmetic. But most math today isn't arithmetic. Not that it is always highly complex, but the real math, whether in science or economics, always has an extra twist, an extra layer, that you don't expect from arithmetic. I took a vacation day Monday. Betsy also ended … Continue reading Doing the math …
Communication Ethics Literacy and Difference: Dialogic Learning
This chapter begins with two points that I think make a lot of sense. As a conservative, libertarian, whatever amorphous description actually belongs to me, or is put upon me by the Other (Liberal, Progressive, Compassionate), I have a feeling that the other thinks these two points are most pertinent for me to learn, when … Continue reading Communication Ethics Literacy and Difference: Dialogic Learning
