A good Saturday too

Today was a nice day. The weather was chilly and rainy. I slept late which shouldn't suprise anyone who looked at the time of last night's blog entry. Spent some of today looking for an answer to my guitar dilemna that I mentioned the other day. I didn't find anything that really jumped out at me. My friend Paul who owns Huelsing's Music was off for the holiday so I couldn't talk to him about it. I think what I'll do is take a couple of my different guitars up there on Wed. night so she can try them out. Including Emily's Ovation guitar which is quite thin-bodied. If that helps then I'll know I'm on the right track. Tomorrow is Easter. I'm doing breakfast for about 50 people at 7:30 am at church. There's a ecumenical sunrise service at 6:30 at Bellerive Park and then some of them will come to our church afterwards to eat. I also have to start getting ready for the next coffe house which is a week from tonight. The sing-along theme this month is "Oldies." I know, I know, we did Beatles last month and they're "oldies." Well, you know, you do what you can. This time I mean oldies like Everly Bros., Turtles, Del Shannon etc. It'll be great.

A warm spring night

Back on the veranda, I sit. Contemplating a June without Science Camp. That's right, Science Camp will be officially called off tomorrow due to lack of attendees. In retrospect, I should have seen it coming. The first few years, we were blessed by two significant factors. One was

You see, it's like this...

My sister asked me after a recent blog entry, "What's up with you Christians and Evolution anyway? What, God can't do Evolution if he wants to?" (I paraphrased) I don't know. I have talked to all kinds of Christians about this and there are many, many different viewpoints. I'd have to say that most folks that I know are not "bothered" by evolution. That means they don't think about it much or it doesn't collide with their faith or something along those lines. However, I do tend to hang with a few fundamentalists here and there and run across my fair share of Darwin as the Devil stuff. As I stated in an earlier blog entry, I think that I've been prepared to talk to people about this subject. So many times I don't actually offer an opinion of my own. During a discussion one night, a friend was becoming agitated at my line of reasoning and Annette jumped in to say, "He's just playing devil's advocate." The friend respon

More on the Beatles

I've been thinking a lot about the Beatles lately. They've been in the news of course because of the anniversary of the Ed Sullivan Show. I got out a copy of the movie Help! This afternoon and fast-forwarded to Hey! You've Got to Hide Your Love Away. I was practically in tears. I almost instinctively focused on John's mouth as he's singing as I imitated every inflection of every phrase. I still think he was one of the great Rock N Roll voices ever. But the biggest thing that hits you is the 40 years! 40 years! Bush, Clinton, Bush, Reagan, Carter, Ford, Nixon, Johnson. And if you really want perspective think about 40 years before that! Kennedy, Eisenhower, Truman, Roosevelt, Hoover, Coolidge, Harding and Wilson. Of course, real perspective comes when ever I think that there's only two of the Beatles left alive. I guess that means I'm getting old too. I'll be 45 in a couple of weeks. As I mentioned earlier, I'm buying a Stratocaster. I've
