Do you know Christ?

Posted on January 8, 2024 by Solid Body Strong Mind

I saw this on social media today: “I’d rather hate my way to hell than love my way to heaven” Now, I’m sure it’s just someone reacting to something Donald Trump said or some whacko “religious” person put on TikTok … Continue reading →

Grief revisited

Posted on January 6, 2024 by Solid Body Strong Mind

Some of the activities around the holidays began stirring up the tendrils of grief that are still suction-cupped to my heart. Music, decorations, photos…oh hell, the gazillion cameras dad had. Videos of mom playing Christmas carols. Every one holds a … Continue reading →

Mom Music Moments

Posted on December 24, 2023 by Solid Body Strong Mind

Mom grew up wanting to be a pianist. She dreamed of Juilliard. Her family just couldn’t afford it, and at the time (and maybe still, I don’t know), the entrance standards were very high. I could run through her entire … Continue reading →

Is the Recipe World Different?

Posted on September 23, 2023 by Solid Body Strong Mind

Comfort

Posted on August 12, 2023 by Solid Body Strong Mind

It’s weird. I was moved to open my Bible and pray a verse or chapter that was there on the page I opened to. I usually read the Bible on my phone, but I felt the need to have the … Continue reading →

Continuing To Make Gains

Posted on August 2, 2023 by Solid Body Strong Mind

I admit. I was disappointed in myself. I had this goal. I set the goal because I could see it on the horizon – the brass ring I could ALMOST reach as my carousel horse made it’s rounds. 100 pounds … Continue reading →

Memories of Tanglewood via the Tanglewood Festival Chorus

Posted on April 26, 2023 by Solid Body Strong Mind

Mornings

Posted on April 15, 2023 by Solid Body Strong Mind

I guess since I get up at 4:30 AM Monday through Thursday, waking up at 7 AM on a Saturday is considered “sleeping in”… not like my youth when sleeping in meant I’d get up at noon and that was … Continue reading →
