Home Sick
Well it appears that this crazy work schedule has finally caught up with me. I am stuck at home feeling under the weather. Sleeping a lot. I hope things will begin to slow down.
Work, Work, Work
Well one of these days maybe I will get to sit down at my computer and blog on a daily basis, but until then you will just have to deal with my sporadic updates. It is very frustrating having things on your mind that you want to say and having nowhere to put those thoughts down because of work, and by the time I do sit down at my computer I draw a complete blank and just want to go…
Gospel of James
I was planning on waiting until December to post this, but do to recent discoveries I feel it appropriate now. Here is a link to the Gospel of James. Yes I realize that it is not canonical in any church, however, it is an important text because it explains a lot of what the Catholic and Orthodox churches believe about Mary and the Incarnation of Jesus. So please read and for what it is tradition, not fact or fiction, just…
Appalachian Traditional Music Festival
Setting: Appalachian Traditional Music Festival Phelps-Stokes Auditorium Berea College Berea, Kentucky As you walk into the turn of the century auditorium with and the old creaking floor that is common to so many buildings of this era you look up and notice a wrap around balcony, as your eyes travel upward thirty feet, you notice one of the most beautiful ceilings around, a giant grid-work with deep inlaid wood. There is a sense that great moments for Berea College have…
I’m Back!
Well due to lots of working, some travel, and servers being down the last ten days have not been very conducive to blogging. Hopefully that trend is changing. On another note, my family and I just returned from camping with my father-in-law in Pigeon Forge, TN., along with the rest of the east coast (the only slightly annoying part of the weekend). We had beautiful weather and a whole lotta fun with family and friends (the Powell’s were there to…
Internet Panhandling
Evidently there is a new trend in which panhandlers have gone high tech, and they are not even trying to conceal it. After doing two minutes of looking further into this to find out if it is fact or fiction here are two sites I found immediately. Savekaryn.com, and Myfirstfilm.com. Now far be it from me to buck trends, I mean look I am pretty much a “johnny come lately” to the blogging world because I had friends doing it…
Missing Colorado
Have you ever been to a place or lived in a place that just resonates with your being? I was born in Fort Collins Colorado in 1974 (no wise cracks I know I am young). I lived there until 1985 at which point we moved to Ohio. I have been able to return their 3 times since the move. It has been almost ten years since my last visit and a longing for home has taken me. My wife says…
This is not about computers!
For those who might actually read this and not be interested in computers, it is not going to be all about computers. That is just what happens to be on my mind these days as I was trying to get my desktop up and running and this wonderful ‘blog’ up. Some other topics that I hope to touch on in the next few postings will be new housing for my family, movies (I just finished watching The Majestic, a must…
