Oh, by the way.....

The address of this blog contains the Hebrew word henani. Just so you know, that translates as "Here am I" and was probably the word that Isaiah used when God asked that famous question, "Whom shall I send"? Isaiah replied, "Here am I, send me" (Isaiah 6:8). I would like to hope that I could respond so avidly if The Lord called.

Prayer is always an option

I just got off the phone a while ago with a guy I used to be in a band with. His name is Mike and he is an incredible blues guitarist and one of the sweetest, most truly loving people I have ever known even though he may look big and mean! Recently he was diagnosed with lymphoma of the bone, a very bad and aggressive cancer. He has gone for two courses of chemotherapy now, each lasting a week which necessitates him staying in the hospital for almost two weeks at a time. He'll be going back for round three soon. Depite the rigors of his treatment he is in very high spirits.

What got me is how good he sounded; positive, full of faith and praising The Lord for his current state of good health. He's not in remission yet, but I'm sure he's getting there. His name is Mike and you can check out his progress and status by clicking "A Link for Mike- Mike's Space" link in my list of "Interesting Links".
No matter what your relationship with the one God of the universe, feel free to jump in and pray for my brother Mike and for his wife, Sandi, who is doing an incredible job of caring for him. If nothing else, it will do you some good.

Hello thinkers!

Welcome to the very first post of my new blog. I'm doing this so I can have a forum to publish what I think is wrong about everything and everybody. While that may sound frivolous, I hasten to mention that it's exactly what everyone else is doing except I'm hoping that my mundane musings will actually do some good, or if nothing else, promote rational thought and nonacceptance of the status quo, which really shouldn't be subject to as much change as the Supreme Court or other activist judges would like us to think.

In future posts I'll be adding new material about English language "misunderstandings" and other atrocities against the mother tongue, as well as resurrecting some of my old favorites from previous blogs .

The subjects will often be about Christian and other religious topics but I hope to get into a few Op Ed or just Op pieces on other subjects as well. So come on back and see what's new from time to time. At the very least, it may give you something to think about. You may get a chuckle, or you may get angry. If so, Good. Mission accomplished.
