Part Three of my Travelogue to Gonzaga University is on bicycles. Spokane and Gonzaga both seem to be part of a very bicycle friendly zone. The riverfront part has trails with zones marked "wheels only", places where bicycles go, and places for pedestrians. If you look on the Gonzaga campus, there are bicycle racks everywhere. … Continue reading Gonzaga — Bicycle Haven
Gonzaga in Signs
Today's episode of my Spokane/Gonzaga travelogue is about signs. I noticed a lot of signs around the Gonzaga campus, enough to make a video montage from the footage I shot. The wall you see scanned, that looks like it has graffiti over it, has an interesting history. Apparently it was originally put up to keep … Continue reading Gonzaga in Signs
Spokane Ho!
Last week I filled the blog with an entire week's posts in my Great Hymns of the Faith series. I did this because I was spending the week in Spokane, WA, at Gonzaga University taking the "campus immersion" class that is part of my online master's degree through Gonzaga. This week I am going to … Continue reading Spokane Ho!
The Acts (acting) of the Apostles
This past Sunday was the weekend of Annual Conference for the Missouri Conference of the United Methodist Church. That being the case, our pastor was at the conference, and the mid-high sunday school class, under the direction of their teacher's of course, led the worship service and shared the message. They shared the message by … Continue reading The Acts (acting) of the Apostles
Veritasium and Smarter Every Day
Okay, this is another of those link to something else posts, "saving" me time while I work on other edits. That said, this is a very interesting link. These two websites on science and knowledge conducted the same experiment in two hemispheres to see if the corialis effect was true. I've been a subscriber to … Continue reading Veritasium and Smarter Every Day

#17 Come, Thou Fount
(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith) This hymn is one of my lifetime favorites. I especially like the reference to Ebenezer -- from I Samuel 7:12 -- which many modern hymnals try to remove from the lyrics. As the Old Testament tells the Jews, … Continue reading #17 Come, Thou Fount
#16 The Lord is King!
(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith) For this hymn I want to note the interesting poetical device used. There is a repetitive phrase at the end of each line. That phrase changes through each verse, and then eventually changes within the verse. The sense … Continue reading #16 The Lord is King!
