“If a fabric is contaminated with mildew. . .”
These days, with the internet and access to it, it doesn’t take a lot of searching to find out how-to guidance. I found a website that shows how to mix basic fabric dye colors to come up with hundreds of other colors. There are websites that tell how to tie dye.
But there was life before the web, connectivity, and believe it or not, before social media. Continue reading “Fabric”
Tabby, a very old Maine Coon cat, is laying on the day bed in the corner of my ham shack. She looks up occasionally. She doesn’t say anything about the way the shack looks. It’s messy. And she doesn’t seem to mind that I’m sitting here at my radio station, listening to music. Although, no doubt she considers the room her own Continue reading “Messy”
Over the years a number of musicians have recorded the Christian worship song Above All. One of my favorite artists is Randy Travis. You can hear his rendition on YouTube here Above All.
Here are the lyrics to Above All, which I obtained at lyricsmode:

Midlife Crisis. One of mine came on as a bit of a jolt. As it turned out, the crisis became an opportunity, eventually, for a great restart.
“What’s a midlife crisis? It’s the stuff of jokes and stereotypes—the time in life when you do outrageous, impractical things like quit a job impulsively, buy a red sports car, or dump your spouse.” WebMD
I managed to do all three mentioned above, with a slight variation; I was the one dumped and propelled on an uncharted course. That’s how I got to Continue reading “Restart”
A cold wind blew up Main Street as I walked past Lassen High School. The dimly lite street lamps cast shadows that danced in the wind. Susanville’s streets were clear of ice and snow, yet few cars were out; it was after six o’clock and the few stores in the downtown were closed. People say “they” roll up the sidewalks Continue reading “Dim”
The word for the day is “rube.” I’ve heard it used before, but not recently. The quick definition provided by my MacBook Air Widget is “Country Bumpkin.” Seriously! Totally insensitive! Rude! In a world of increasing insistence on civility, Continue reading “How Rude!”

I found one of his sermons Continue reading “Pastor Sinclair Ferguson; Last Days”
Looking around the internet for some preaching, I ran into Pastor Martyn Lloyd-Jones. Being Welsh myself, I noticed his name immediately and had to have a listen. I was not disappointed. Pastor Lloyd-Jones was born not far from my mother, in South Wales, though he was twenty years old that she.
“David Martyn Lloyd-Jones (20 December 1899 – 1 March 1981) was a Welsh Protestant minister, preacher and medical doctor who was influential in the Reformed wing of the British evangelical movement in the 20th century. For almost 30 years, he was the minister of Westminster Chapel in London.” — MLJ Trust.
Some videos and recordings are on the MLJ Trust website.

Lately I’ve been watching vlogs (video blogs). One in particular I’ve found amazing. Pastor Thabo is a South African preacher who is a modern-day Tent Maker-style preacher. That is he earns most incooutside the ministry. If you’ve not heard of Tent Makers before, the idea comes from Apostle Paul who earned his living making tents–literally.
Here’s a link to Pastor Thabo’s YouTube channel:

For the first few weeks of the New Year, a television commercial depicting Mr. Mayhem has made a New Year’s Resolution—no longer will he cause wanton destruction of property and life. It’s a nice touch, grabbing one’s eye immediately. It’s a real contrast to previous commercials where Mr. Mayhem causes, well, mayhem.
Then just this week a new commercial ran in which Mr. Mayhem, for a reason I didn’t catch, decided to do like almost everyone else, and abandon his New Year’s resolutions. Mr. Mayhem is once again on the loose, a dominant issue in our lives.
“What if death, injury, destruction, evil, all take a holiday,” I thought to myself. Continue reading “Mr. Mayhem’s New Year’s Resolution”
