Babysitting while the daughter and son-in-law are away for the weekend for their tenth anniversary.  This is all I got… But it's Darlingside… so it's good.    

I said you would probably hear more songs from this album…  The harmonies… sigh.    

WHERE HAVE I BEEN???  How is it that I am only NOW hearing about this album??  I love P!nk and hearing her singing these beautiful ballads… mind blown.  The harmonies… AAHH!!  My only problem tonight was trying to decide which song to share… so there may be more songs  to come from this album.  Yes, thereContinue reading “You and Me”

to the new year…       Will think of something to say later…

Starting the year off with a song I heard on NPR, though, I don't remember the story to which it was attached… (hate when that happens…)  At any rate, it got my attention, so it's distinctiveness will be added to the collective… …it's a Star Trek thing. Happy New Year!    

2015 is almost at an end here in So Cal. I wish to conclude the year and the Advent Season with a look at the final chapter from the Advent devotional.  It speaks of humility with the focus on Philippians 2:6-8, "Though he was in the form of God, [Jesus] did not count equality with God a thingContinue reading “Humble Endings and Beginnings”
