More than Conquerors

Sunday, March 22nd, 2009

If God is for us, who is against us?  He who did not withhold his own Son, but gave him up for all of us, will he not with him also give us everything else?  Who will bring any charge against God’s elect?  It is God who justifies.  Who is to condemn?  It is Christ […]

Playing with Yo Yo’s

Saturday, March 21st, 2009

Yes, I like to play with those kind of yo yos too, but I’m not talking about that little round wooden toy on a string.  I’m talking about fabric yo yos.  Yo Yos are fabric circles gathered to form little rosettes. I first workedwith yo yos as a kid when I made yo yo clown […]

Late Night Travels

Thursday, March 19th, 2009

I traveled for a long time last night and managed to cover a lot of territory.  Some of it was exciting, some inspiring, some sentimental and some just made me smile.  A lot.  I started with the incredible sounds of Il Divo and Amaging Grace.  I just recently discovered this group when a friend sent me the link.  I […]

The Rubber Room

Wednesday, March 18th, 2009

I listened to an NPR program on the way home from work last Saturday night that taught me about an incredible place in New York City.  It’s called the rubber room.  A site about The Big Apple gives us the definition so we’ll know why the “reassignment centers” for NYC teachers are called rubber rooms.  A teacher […]

Even Obama Got Tired

Monday, March 16th, 2009

of the spending sprees of American International Group.  It’s very frustrating to taxpayers to see bailout and stimulus money used for parties and employee bonuses.  It’s even more irritating to those of us who are stuck with our 401k plans being “managed” by a company who has shown such a lack of concern regarding their […]

Praise the Lord!

Sunday, March 15th, 2009

Praise the Lord!  Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty firmament!  Praise him for his mighty deeds; praise him according to his surpassing greatness! Praise him with trumpet sound; praise him with lute and harp!  Praise him with tambourine and dance; praise him with stings and pipe!  Praise him with clanging cymbals; […]
