Tweaking Continues…

OK, so day two (or three?) of having Blogger for the blog, and I’m likin’ it. Got inspired to transfer last year’s worth of entries over. Doesn’t take long, it’s just really tedious work. So, I’m probably not going to be in a big rush to finish. The new blog address is: http://wheneftalks2.blogspot.com/ For some […]

Torn between two blogs

So, I’ve been dumping some of the old entries into Blogger over the past few days, and I gotta say…I love it. Dang, this is easy. A HECK of a lot easier than Rapidweaver. So, what was I doing not doing this a long time ago…like, maybe two years ago?Sheesh. Did I mention that sometime […]

Deja Vu All Over Again

Jeez, I’ve had such crappy luck with my blogging software over the past few years. Been trying to use the integrated Rapidweaver solution to do both the website and blog. And I realize the previous sentence will only make sense to extraordinarily geeky Macheads. Let’s just say, I’ve tried a lot of things and it […]

Further, it suggests that this sacrifice, and this sacrifice alone, is the “salvific” work of Jesus; the moment that Jesus’ earthly ministry is complete. (The […]

Boycott the Rangers

It’s Opening Day, and it should be one of my favorite days of the year. Up until a few years ago, I had a great tradition of always going to the Opening Day game. Not anymore. Nor can I share the zeal of those who are gleeful today. Three years ago, I wrote this blog […]

Quincy Jones’ Prayer

Got this prayer first from Tom Geddie, who perhaps got it from this source in Austin. It’s the oldest version I can find online. It’s worth repeating. This text comes from music writer, Michael Corcoran, who says this:“At the end of his two-hour keynote address, Quincy Jones asked those in the packed ballroom to stand […]

Homestretch, the Movie

Some months back, I told you all about my friend, Sheri Bylander’s incredible movie about racehorses and prisoners, called “Homestretch.” Last Fall, Sheri had a showing of the film here in Dallas at the Magnolia, and we got to see this fantastic film first hand. The really cool news is that PBS has picked up […]

$50,000

Well, another incredible show Saturday night. And a true milestone for Connections Band. We passed the $50,000 threshold for funds raised for our two beneficiaries. This was also the first show for me to attempt to record it straight to my “precious,” the new Mac Book Pro, and you can find clips on the Connections […]
