It’s the beginning of Holy Week today, Palm Sunday. I attended church on-line at Oak Hill Bible Church. So grateful they are online. Also found out about a daily video devotional that will be provided by my old church, Redeemer Modesto, that will allow us to walk through the week prayerfully leading up to GoodContinue reading “Day of Palms: In Christ Alone”

The world is a little dimmer today… Ain’t no sunshine… Bill Withers passed earlier this week, the news only released earlier today. Thought it appropriate to share this song, particularly now, as we look for some sunshine during a hard time. He had other hits, including Lean On Me, and I thought about sharing thatContinue reading “Whatever Today Is: Ain’t No Sunshine”

Thought I’d go back to some sources I used to provide daily songs back in the day. I love NPR’s Tiny Desk Concerts and their All Songs Considered section. Checked in and found they’d compiled a list of Top 20 songs for March. Scrolled through and found this song. After listening to it (and cryingContinue reading “Days on End…: What Are You Gonna Tell Her?”

I’ve said it before, I love Fleetwood Mac. I remember seeing them at Bill Graham’s Day on the Green in 1977. They’d just released their album, Rumours, and it was an amazing day and an amazing set! Fast forward to today, or rather this week and I heard this song, but it wasn’t Stevie NicksContinue reading “Day After Yesterday: Go Your Own Way”

It was a lovely Sunday. Slept in. Attended church in my pajamas, with a cup of coffee and toast and jam. I even made an apple pie! I went out and howled this evening. Throughout the day I chatted with Wilson. Quite a lovely day. I started attending Oak Hill Bible Church four weeks ago.Continue reading “Days on End: It Is Well With My Soul”

Quiet day listening to Wilson chittering outside my window… I had to read up on hummingbirds nesting habits and am excited to see what happens. It should take about two weeks or so before babies hatch. Been trying to find a routine for the last few days. Haven’t found it yet, other than when IContinue reading “Day [insert date here]: Anyone”

I’ve been listening to Mumford & Sons lately because… well, they’re Mumford & Sons. I looked back through my archives and saw that I’d shared this song back in 2012. It needs to be shared again for the video. It’s hilarious! And this is the “Official” music video of the song! It just cracks meContinue reading “Day 5: Hopeless Wanderer”

My granddaughter LOVES the Frozen movies. What little girl doesn’t right now? Charis went to see Frozen 2 with her cousin, Valentina, and, of course, they HAD to dress in Anna and Elsa gowns. And, also of course, when we arrived at the theater, EVERY other little girl was dressed as either Elsa or Anna.Continue reading “Day Four(ish): The Next Right Thing”

I’ve said it before, I love listening to the rain. Today, it provided some respite and solace in the solitude. I’ve said before, I like staying at home. I like puttering around my small apartment, sitting and reading, watching Britbox (I’m such an Anglophile…). But I miss my grandbabies… This summer, Maseo will become aContinue reading “Day 3: Rainy Days and Sundays”

Ok, so now that I’ve started this… 😳 No guarantees… but I will try to post daily… Got an email from Marcus Mumford… Yes, from Mumford & Sons… No, he didn’t send it to me personally (but wouldn’t that be cool…) At any rate, he shared a song that he though appropriate for the timesContinue reading “Day Two: You’ll Never Walk Alone”
