I like the concept of a homecoming ceremony so that when someone dies rather than getting all upset and everything, we actually celebrate the life that was and usher them home. It’s not completely heartless towards those who mourn and this song is right for the occasion. I enjoyed watching it. May have a little […]
Read More How Do We Say Goodbye?When I started blogging back in 2005 it was something to keep me writing. OK to be fair, it was something there to get me writing more regularly in the first place. In those early days I was a bit sporadic in the entries and would go in fits and starts. As the weeks and […]
Read More State of the Blogs Address: Jan-Mar Review – Among FriendsI often wonder about real love. I listen to stories of relationships where people have been used and abused and they’ve stuck around longer than is healthy because of love.

One of them that’s particularly shameful is on a typical Sabbath service at the end of the morning study and the moderator/superintendent looks to give a welcome […]
Read More Hospitality: A ChallengeHere is a good reason why I don’t get too hyped up about life. Keith’s lyrics are solitary reminders of how all we have is down to grace For His Name’s Sake Shalom dmcd
Read More Keith Green – Grace By Which I StandI’m sure I’ll do a full update on what’s up with the man cd very soon, but in the meantime just free blogging as it is. Just wanted to give a little something on the craze of today. I have vague recollections of doing things back in the day to celebrate April 1st. On the […]
Read More No Time For April Fooling In the Time For New LifeThere is something about the concept of praise that is very child-like and simple. I see it often when my girls see something they enjoy – the look on their faces express it and they are eager to run up and say thank you. In fact the oldest one now has the vocabulary to wax […]
