Singing in the Rain – Literally

~~~
Day’s Verse:
Sitting down, Jesus called the Twelve and said, “If anyone wants to be first, he must be the very last, and servant of all.” He took a little child and had him stand among them. Taking him in His arms, He said to them, “Whoever welcomes one of these little children in my name [...]

Falling

~~~
Day’s Verse:
We walk by faith, not by sight.
2 Cor. 5:7
~~~

The problem is that we think too much and obey too little. My Grandpa Koskovich can make his way around LA by himself despite the fact he lost his sight 30 years ago; he recognizes smells and sounds, but sometimes he trips over kerbs. Walking arm-in-arm [...]

Also, am considering volunteering to follow in my mother’s footsteps and spray-paint reminders around storm-drains in Bellevue. Everybody will take a volunteer, and since we do [...]

Also, the sun rises and the sun sets; and hastening to its place it rises there again. Blowing toward the south, then turning toward the north, the [...]

My Big Fat Greek War

~~~
Day’s Verse:
If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
James 1:5
~~~
Last night we saw Troy. I would describe it as a bonanza of spurting blood, cool costuming, glistening muscles, fancy sword tricks, neat special effects, and did I mention blood? [...]

The Importance of Information is Directly Proportional to its Improbability.

~~~
Day’s Verse:
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.
Joshua 1:9
~~~
While you think on that, also consider all the possible meanings of “silent as the grave”.

I Am Totally Not Lying to You

~~~
Day’s Verse:
A merry heart makes a cheerful countenance, but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.
Proverbs 15:13
~~~
Today’s picture: Mom on the airplane as we flew back from California A complete accident, but I think it still has some interesting qualities.
I need to learn how to be more cheerful. All the time – every [...]

OnlyWriting II

~~~
Day’s Verse:
We have such trust through Christ toward God. Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think of anything as being from ourselves, but our sufficiency is from God.
2 Cor. 3:4-5
~~~
Despite my initial high hopes, and a few people expressing interest and joining, OnlyWriting has not gotten off to the brilliant start I hoped. [...]

Huge Gas-Guzzling SUV in a Compact Spot

Day 1: Friday. Fly down to California, arriving about noon. Begin Advantage Rent-A-Car adventure, where a minivan came to pick us up at the tiny, calmly-moving Burbank Airport (officially called the Bob Hope Airport). Hottest day of our visit, clocking in around 94°, we waited for about half an hour in the toasty shade to [...]
