(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith) 1 What a wondrous message in God's Word! My sins are blotted out, I know! If I trust in His redeeming blood, My sins are blotted out, I know! CHORUS My sins are blotted out, I know! (I … Continue reading #200: My Sins Are Blotted Out, I Know!

A Blast of the Past #100: Ohio Reunion
Today's post is a milestone of pictures. Been reflecting back through pictures for quite awhile to get to 100. So it seems appropriate that this milestone should feature something as important as a meeting of two Lightfoot branches. In the summer of 2008 the New York and Missouri branches met in Ohio. We stayed in … Continue reading A Blast of the Past #100: Ohio Reunion
A Look Ahead … and a review (look back)
Last week I had three things in my Look Ahead. This week I have the same three things. And a very mixed review of the second. First, let’s see what is going on at Worlds of Fun… Kansas City Flavor Weekends June 2-11 Now in its second and final weekend, the Kansas City Flavor looked … Continue reading A Look Ahead … and a review (look back)

Bike ride across America
Today's post is a short one, about a story I saw on the Houghton College Facebook feed, about four students, recent graduates, who are biking across America. This blog follows their journey, which started in mid-May. I haven't had a chance to barely read any of it, since I came across it over the weekend, … Continue reading Bike ride across America
Fitness Update: or lack thereof
Today's post is late because I've been feeling both off and lazy from the fitness perspective. Muscles fatigued with no exertion to explain. Sinus switch from weather switch. So I didn't do much fitness workouts last week. The weekend was getting as much rest as possible. Which seemed to do some good, though not complete … Continue reading Fitness Update: or lack thereof
#198: There Is Power in the Blood
(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith) 1 Would you be free from the burden of sin? There's pow'r in the blood, pow'r in the blood; Would you o'er evil a victory win? There's wonderful pow'r in the blood; CHORUS There is pow'r (there is … Continue reading #198: There Is Power in the Blood
Should we use food grains to create gasoline?
As someone who grew up in the farming community (dairyman's son), I have a passing acquaintance with some of the agricultural issues of the day. Thus I have heard the talk, back and forth, about the pros and cons of using ethanol from grain as an energy source. Which is why I found this video … Continue reading Should we use food grains to create gasoline?
A Blast of the Past #99: Geauga Lake
One of our favorite finds was Geauga Lake's Wildwater Kingdom Park. Apparently Six Flags once owned an amusement park and water park at Geauga Lake, but ended up selling it to Cedar Fair, which kept the water park open but closed the amusement park, my assumption being that it was too close to Cedar Point … Continue reading A Blast of the Past #99: Geauga Lake
