(This is the 12th and final part of the series on my only solo concert to date: A Concert of Sacred Metaphors, 2006). The concert ended with this song from Michael Card: Joy in the Journey. A reminder that life in Christ is a journey, not a destination.
Panda Express
Okay, an update on the all season dining plan. It only includes specific restaurants -- but that seems to be a majority of them. But one of the significant holdouts was the Panda Express at Worlds of Fun. But no longer. Yesterday we got an e-mail that they had added Panda Express to the plan. … Continue reading Panda Express
Cinderella — Surprisingly Traditional
(Note: Potential Spoilers ahead -- read at your own peril!) Fortunately the production of Rodger's and Hammerstein's Cinderella at Kansas City Starlight this week did not live up to its billing. The ad blurb stated: The new tour of Rodgers + Hammerstein’s Cinderella delights audiences with its surprisingly contemporary take on the beloved tale of … Continue reading Cinderella — Surprisingly Traditional
Hack or no Hack
Yesterday was a day of amazing coincidences. The Bureau of Homeland Security assured us that none of them were caused by any "malicious intent", but that doesn't present the conspiracy-minded from seeing all those plausible connections. After all, how many times does: 1) An airline's system grounds all its planes for 2 hours. 2) The … Continue reading Hack or no Hack
I know your whole story ….
Just a reminder that hit me today... when people are so sure they know all about you .... They are often 100% wrong.

When we bought our current (second) house, one of my requirements was an underground space that we could use as … Continue reading Tornado Warning: In Comfort and Connected
The Wisdom of the Ages
C.S. Lewis is where I first ran into the idea of Chronological Snobbery. The idea that we of the current age are smarter than all who went before us and can look down our noses at the past. Lewis reminded me/us that each age has its blind points, places where it makes mistakes. Reading books … Continue reading The Wisdom of the Ages
Concert of Sacred Metaphors: Rock of Ages
(Part 11 of the series on my only solo concert to date: A Concert of Sacred Metaphors, 2006). This song is very popular in western movies. Some of them like it so much that all they can do is sing the first verse over and over again. Some like it so well that they can … Continue reading Concert of Sacred Metaphors: Rock of Ages
On Independence Day….
On this Independence day I thought I would share this TV special from years gone by, featuring John Wayne. I have been hearing one of Wayne's speeches from this at the amusement park for the past several days, but they never share the whole thing. So here it is: It is especially worthwhile after reading … Continue reading On Independence Day….
Pippin — A review
Today's post is going to be a review of last night's viewing of Pippin at Starlight Theater in Kansas City, MO Usually in a drama or musical you have a hero, a sympathetic hero. Pippin isn't that. He's more of a whiner and complainer. "I'm so special and no one realizes it ... I can't … Continue reading Pippin — A review
