“If I should ever die, God forbid, let this be my epitaph; The only proof he needed for existence of God was music.” Kurt Vonnegut Have you ever heard of the Cricket Song? There is a reel that is making the rounds at the moment, it was popular a few years ago and kind of dropped out of sight. Today as I was scrolling, the video started to play.

“The optimist sees the donut, the pessimist sees the hole.” Oscar Wilde This is a different musing. I had seen a lot of reviews of the movie, “It Ends With Us.” I thought I would share my thoughts after reading the book.

I am not wedded... Read more
“Faith is the bird that feels the light when the dawn is still dark.” Rabindranath Tagore I’ve been wrestling in my faith walk the last few days I’ve kind of been in a mood in the last few days.

You have simply got to put one foot in front of the other and keep going. Put blinders on a plow right on.” George Lucas Yesterday I was at the store, the assistant who was ringing up my groceries looked at me as they all do and said, “How are you today Ma’am?” It had been a day, I took a deep sigh and said, “I’m making it, a little slow but that is okay.” He stopped, looked me...

“A sweater is like life, you get nothing out of it that you don’t put into it.” Marilyn Monroe It’s Hot here right now! Today we woke up and our house was a soupy 69 degrees!

We brought out the candles and... Read more
“Music is well said to be the speech of angels.” – Thomas Carlyle Yesterday I wrote how a hymn a day can keep the spirit stayed. On the Subject of hymns… Do you have a song in your heart? The phrase coined by Shakespeare comes to mind.. But rather it was not coined by Shakespeare, was it? Music is well said to be the speech of angels.

“Hymns have been a powerful instrument of God to draw people closer to God’s word and the saving riches therein.” Billy Graham I have had hymns on my mind recently Today I opened my browser, I squinted my eyes, took a deep breath and read the news.
