One Story from Our Trip to Florida

 1/19/24 One story from our drive to and from Florida; It's been quite a long while since Sue and I have done any serious driving on the interstate system and when we last did it, I was doing all the driving.  Fast forward a century and Sue is now doing all the driving. I'm in the navigator role, checking maps, watching for “idiots with a driver's license” coming up behind us.  Boy has things changed!  Back in the day, “5-7 over the speed limit” was the norm.  Now, that will get you seriously rear ended, and that’s if you're in the slow-lane!   Sue quickly adapted to the advanced technology our new-used van had come equipped with.  With a speed limit at 70mph you would expect for the majority of the traffic to be tooling along at say 75-78mph in the fast lane. Not so!  Now, the slow lane is for those who dodder along at 75-78, the middle lane is populated with those going in the 76-84mph range and they’ve added a third lane where the speeds s...

I believe in God, so I spoke. 2/4/24

“Bettering Ourselves” Addendum .v3 Sunday Meditation 12/24/23

  12/26/23 “Bettering Ourselves” Addendum .v3 Sunday Meditation While I was working on the concept of “bettering ourselves” I came across a song that fit the subject matter like a glove. Since the post was already getting too long, I withheld mentioning the song and filed it away for another day. The song seems so appropriate I’m posting it as an addendum to the Sunday post. The song is “In the Blood”, written by John Mayor, a prolific songwriter. The best cover of the song is by the acapella group, Home Free, was released in 2017. I strongly encourage you to listen to Home Free sing their cover here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1TqpH6PZBo Here’s the lyrics; Home Free -In the Blood How much of my Mother Has my Mother left in me How much of my love Will be insane to some degree What about this feeling That I'm never good enough Will it wash out in the water Or is it always in the blood How much of my Father Am I destined to become Will I dim the lights inside me Just to sat...
