      There’s a good article on the Edmund Fitzgerald here; very nostalgic…we had several Gordon Lightfoot albums.

        Thanks, weather! The song wasn’t familiar to me, though the story behind it is. Perhaps I heard Lightfoot’s song and don’t remember. 1976 was a year of personal upheaval. So I probably wasn’t into hearing anything sad. Music has always had a big place in my life and has seen me through on many occasions.

          The Carter years tested everyone, Lucille. I don’t know whether your problems were relational or medical, but I think we all emerged from the ’70s very different in so many ways. Reagan was a ‘breath’ (but, ultimately, even he couldn’t overcome the already malignant deep state).

    Mornin’ All. Very cool here this morning. I took Loki out for her walk and was wearing a sleeveless shirt and it was actually a little too cool or that. Not complaining, just wish I had thrown on a long sleeved shirt. LOL. The pastor of our church came by for a visit yesterday. We had a great long conversation. He stayed about two hours. I was impressed with his sensitivity to the needs of the congregation. One thing I like in his service is that he believes the children should be in church with their parents even if they are acting up. He has a teaching moment with all the children who come up and sit on the steps. And, he never gets upset with a child who is making noise. He has five children of his own, the last one just being about a month old. I talked to him about this winter and the fact that I don’t drive in the snow and my car is a rear wheel drive, so isn’t good anyway. He said this is a lady near me who is happy to bring people with her and she has a 4 wheel drive car. So, I guess that takes care of that. 🙂 Well, back to unpacking. Have a great day.

      Reminds me of Jesus: Suffer the little children to come onto me, for such is the kingdom of heaven. (rough translation)

      Accurate quote:

      He said to them, ‘Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.’ And he took the children in his arms, placed his hands on them and blessed them.” — Mark 10:13-15 (NIV)

      Hey aus….It’s a beautiful day here, but boy howdy, yesterday we didn’t see the sun due to the smoke from the fires in your area.. Couldn’t help but send up prayers that your air quality clears up.

      Good morning, aus. Looks like you have a real pastor who sees his pastoral duties as blessings. May God bless him in return and you, too.
