Credit. We all want it. It’s a pride thing, isn’t it? If we do something notable, don’t we want people to know about it? I know I certainly do, and I especially don’t want somebody else to get credit for something I’ve done. In my bible reading this morning (Matthew 9 and 10), I read…
The Madness of March
It’s started again, with a vengeance. College hoops will take front and center for the next three weeks. I’ve made my picks, in three different pools at three different times. One is quite different from the other two, which are eerily similar. as of right now, 8 games in, I have 4, 5 and 6…

Bad Advertising
I got a package Monday. It was something I ordered for work. It is address correction software to be loaded onto one of our servers and will be accessed by all our business systems. The problem? It was addressed incorrectly. This company, selling me a solution for thousands of dollars which will correct all our…

Today’s play list
As I write I’m listening to music from Sovereign Grace Music – two of my favorite newer albums (can we still call them albums?). Upward, the Bob Kauflin Hymns Project and Valley of Vision, based on the Puritan Prayers of the same name. Wonderful text, some old hymns and some new, great melody lines, all…

I Will…

It’s almost spring, and that means it’s time for the ice to go from our lake. Mullett Lake is always the last to freeze up here, and the last to thaw. It’s surprising that the ice is starting to melt so quickly this year, but we have had a relatively mild (low snow) winter and…

Good music coming north?
Friday was a good day for me, music wise. First, I got a call from Jacob Kitson, tenor for Greater Vision. They are coming to Gaylord High School, and he wanted to make sure we weren’t doing anything that would conflict with that date. (We have sponsored a number of concerts in Cheboygan, including Glad,…

The Palms of His Hand
Today’s reading passage in my project to read through the Bible this year was in Isaiah, chapters 46-50. It’s amazing how there is always something to take away, a phrase that strikes home, a glimpse into a deeper meaning from another reference passage, or maybe a thought of a hymn or other song, regardless of…

A Present Salvation
Here are the closing lines from this Puritan Prayer from The Valley of Vision. What a great way to live! Help me to be in reality before thee as in appearance I am before men, to be religious before I profess religion, to leave the world before I enter the church, to set my affections…

Changing platforms
I’m switching my blog to WordPress from QuickBlog. Not that anybody will notice, because I seem to be the only one who reads my blog. Anyway, the site will be undergoing change in the near future. Sorry if it bothers you. Well, not really, but it sounds good to say it anyway.
