Our next look into the past is our 20th reunion at Houghton College. It took place in our 21st year after graduation. We almost didn't have this reunion. Initially we were part of something called "cluster reunions" where adjacent years were grouped together in reunions. It was a good idea; a chance to meet friends … Continue reading A Blast of the Past #109: Houghton Reunion

#217: Jesus, Thy Blood and Righteousness
(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith) 1 Jesus, Thy blood and righteousness My beauty are, my glorious dress; 'Midst flaming world, in these arrayed, With joy shall I lift up my head. 2 Bold shall I stand in Thy great day, For who aught … Continue reading #217: Jesus, Thy Blood and Righteousness
Cedar Fair Parks Tour: Comparing Park Features
While touring the various parks, besides noting what we enjoy and had fun with at each park, we started making comparisons and contrasts between them. Certain themes began to arise in our minds. Today’s post will start a short to moderate discussion of the things we observed and discussed during our tour. True, we only … Continue reading Cedar Fair Parks Tour: Comparing Park Features
Fitness Update: Biking in the rain
Well, a couple of things on the fitness front this week: I went to the MD doctor about the bone cramps/muscle aches in my lower and upper left leg. (At its worst, this made it painful to drive at all, as any application of the clutch in our stick shift stressed the offending area.) I … Continue reading Fitness Update: Biking in the rain

A Blast of the Past #108: Graduation Party
For years Betsy and I attended a small group at the mega church -- and I mean a small group. It never seemed to get very big, but it rotated through a number of people that we ministered to (and who ministered to us) that were then able to move on to other stages of … Continue reading A Blast of the Past #108: Graduation Party

(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith) 1 Nor silver nor gold hath obtained my redemption, Nor riches on earth could have saved my poor soul; The blood of the cross is my only foundation, The death of my Savior now maketh me whole. CHORUS … Continue reading #215: Nor Silver nor Gold
Cedar Fair Parks Tour: King’s Island
Of the three parks designed on the same model -- King’s Dominion, Canada’s Wonderland, King’s Island – King’s Island probably has the best balance from entry to roaming. We arrived at King’s Island on Thursday evening, and got modestly lost on the way to the park before getting ourselves turned the right way. As per … Continue reading Cedar Fair Parks Tour: King’s Island
