Oh, the Glory Hallelujah!
It was a slice of heaven last Sunday morning.A giant American flag was the bold backdrop for our incredible choir and orchestra. Patriotic music filled the sanctuary, echoing our gratitude for this land we love. And, we sang each song of each branch of the military that keep watch over us. Holy chill bumps came…
Go Tell It on This Mountain
And our saga continues — from the majestic, soul-stirring heights of Crested Butte, Colorado. Just when I thought we’d soaked in all the beauty we could, yesterday surprised us again. Turns out it was the official opening of the summer ski lift season! Carl and I jumped at the chance (well — stepped carefully at…
Happy BD America, Happy 4th of July aka Independence Day!
Democracy and freedom were born 246 years ago, July 4th 1776 — freedoms we so often take for granted.

God Bless America! Almighty God, We DEPEND on YOU!
It’s the day we’ve been waiting for…..cookouts (in our case, a fish fry — yum), fun, games AND…..fireworks — either man-handling them ourselves, or sitting back and relaxing as we watch the red, white and blue bursts of fire and lights! I have such fond memories of 4th of July celebrations at the Cotton Bowl…
