Why are there no Easter Carols?
Its Easter. In my opinion, Easter is the single most important event in Christianity. It is the resurrection of Christ that distinguishes Christianity from all other religions in the world. Christianity is the only religion whose savior died and rose again. So why aren’t we all decorating our houses and businesses and singing Easter carolsContinue reading “Why are there no Easter Carols?”
Surprise!
Surprises are often wonderful and unfortunately just as often not so wonderful. We can find reasons to thank God for both.
Blood, Sweat and Tears
Blood, Sweat and Tears was a large rock and roll group that was popular from 1967 to 1981. They disappeared from the music scene, for about 3 years and then started up again in 1984.

If God Loves Me Why Am I So Sad?
Some of us have lives that are as smooth as silk. They flow from day to day with rarely a downturn to deal with. Others, like me, have lives that are complex and confusing. It often feels as if we have our own little dark cloud over us all the time. We are the onesContinue reading “If God Loves Me Why Am I So Sad?”
Trampolines, Kangaroos and Red Rubber Balls
What do you suppose these three things have in common? They all bounce! Do you remember jumping on a trampoline as a kid? I sure do. That feeling of almost flying as you bounced as high as you possibly could was amazing. When was the last time you felt that free, that unencumbered? Very fewContinue reading “Trampolines, Kangaroos and Red Rubber Balls”

There is a very old song (my parents generation so we’re talking a really long time ago), called Goody, Goody sung by several different artists including Ella Fitzgerald and Frank Sinatra. It a song about someone getting what they deserved. The refrain goes like this: “Hurray and Hallelujah, you had it coming to you. Goody,Continue reading “Goody, Goody”
Habitual Learning
The human brain is an amazing thing. I learned a new word today. I think I may have heard it before, but I now know what it means. The word is neuroplasticity. Isn’t that a fantastic word? It just sort of rolls around in your mouth when you say it. New-Row-Plaa-Stis-City. That’s the closest IContinue reading “Habitual Learning”
And So It Begins
Waiting. It is not something I do well. I am still, and always have been, rather much of a Type A personality. I need to be busy, to be productive, to keep my mind stimulated. I enjoy social activities and being around friends. I don’t sit still well. I will admit that I am doingContinue reading “And So It Begins”
I Pledge Allegiance to God
Governments come and governments go. We have been lucky here in the United States that ours has been in existence for more than 200 years. We think that’s a very long time, but in reality it is just transitory. Before becoming a Republic, we were part of England and ruled over by a King George.Continue reading “I Pledge Allegiance to God”
