Daylight Savings Day!
Miss my hour springing forward.
I fall back all day.

In the beginning,
when God made the world, God knew,
iPhones were coming

When I read the Bible on my iPhone or iPad it occurs to me that while I am amazed at the volume of information, notes and translations available at my fingertips thanks to handheld technology, God is not.

God knew about iPads before Genesis 1:1 was ever written down by human hands.

When John writes, In the Beginning was the Word, God knew that John’s writings would be available around the world in 2000 years or so by iPhone.

We can well be amazed at human technological achievement, but God isn’t.

Amused maybe, at the reactions, but not amazed.

Dressing for Success?
Today, one polo pony …
equals one necktie

I admit that I have a closet full of polo shirts and I cannot remember the last time I wore a tie to work.

BUT let me say that I bought all my polo button downs and summer shirts at Value Village or Thrift Stores or Goodwill.

I get a nice shirt for $4 and someone else paid for the pony.

Today, my iPad.
As a kid, my World Wide Web?
Creston Library!

When I say the the Creston Branch Library, I mean the one in the old OLD KENT BANK building.

Were more books ever crammed into a small place? It’s aisle’s went back and around and sideways and at angles. I LOVED this place. I think I carried my first Temporary card (which allowed me, as a six year old, to check out 2 books) in my wallet for 40 years.

Everything and anything you needed to know was in their somewhere and the librarians knew how to find it.

I got to work for the Grand Rapids Public Library in the early ’90s and being paid to answer bizarre questions about local history and anything else was the most satisfying job I have ever had.

On a gloomy day,
a good feeling from the radio –
The Lark Ascending

On a day when I should be saluting George Washington this is an honest reflection of the moment.

On a very gray and foggy morning in Atlanta when I have lost all motivation, I was writing a note to a friend and thanking them for at least giving me a good feeling on a gloomy day and after I wrote that I noticed my online radio station, Classic FM, from London, was playing Edward Elgar’s Lark Ascending and I had to stop and listen until it was done
