For the Luv: June 2008
http://for-the-luv.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 1, 2008. One Day at a Time. You run and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking / Racing around to come up behind you again. There is something about summer that annually reminds me of one of the finest books written in the last century - The Old Man and the Sea. By Ernest Hemingway. Each summer I try to read the book as a part of vacation time, and each time I read it, I find myself in its pages. The old man is, in many ways, allegorical. He happens to be old and poor, but hi...

For the Luv: iTuning My Heart
http://for-the-luv.blogspot.com/2008/12/ituning-my-heart.html
Thursday, December 4, 2008. And it's whispered that soon if we all call a tune, then the Piper will lead us to reason. And a new day will dawn for those who stand long, and the forests will echo with laughter. Robert Plant, Stairway to Heaven. Burt has always said that you can tell where your heart is by looking at your checkbook. I wonder if the same applies to iTunes? You Ain't Goin' Nowhere (Bob Dylan). Every Grain of Sand (Bob Dylan). When We're Through (Act of Congress). Red River Shore (Bob Dylan).

For the Luv: It Always Rains on Wednesday
http://for-the-luv.blogspot.com/2009/02/it-always-rains-on-wednesday.html
Thursday, February 12, 2009. It Always Rains on Wednesday. 8220;There is no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather.”. Its Wednesday, it must be raining. The garbage has to be at the curb by 7:00. AM. But its raining. And I've already showered. But the garbage has to be at the curb by 7:00. Maybe I can miss it this week? But we'll be overrun with garbage by next. But its raining. And its Wednesday. It must be raining. Its Wednesday, it must be raining. Drenched as we talk. I f...

For the Luv: November 2010

Sunday, November 28, 2010. What Good Am I? 8220;Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive. 8221; - Howard Thurman. I recently discovered a song from the 1980s that speaks volumes to us all. What good am I, if I'm like all the rest? If I just turned away, when I see how you're dressed. If I shut myself off so I can't hear you cry. What good am I? What good am I, if I know and don't do? What good am I? Charles H&#...

For the Luv: April 2009
http://for-the-luv.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 12, 2009. Fads, Fictions and Faith. A thing is not necessarily true because a man dies for it. Are you willing to die for what you believe? I must admit that in my younger days I relished such experiences, and felt as if I was defending not only the one and true faith, but also the one and true God. Such is the naivete of youth. Little did I realize that the true and living God got along quite nicely without my aid for many an eternity. I don't think so. Shall we ever forget that in the...

For the Luv: January 2008

Monday, January 28, 2008. The strength of a man's virtue must not be measured by his efforts, but by his ordinary life." -. His grandchildren faired some better. Never seeing him drink in front of them, Shelby kept his beer in the boat shed and would frequently slip off to cut the edge off of his day. The grandkids knew when Bigdaddy's nose was red, which it frequently was, he would be in a good mood. What does the Dead Sea Scrolls have to do with Shelby? Links to this post.

For the Luv: May 2008
http://for-the-luv.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 16, 2008. Take care of all your memories, for you cannot relive them.". It is funny how age sneaks up on you. For a kid growing up in the farmlands of middle America, the journey to the present now seems completely unlikely. The small (and I do mean small) bedroom community of my youth now seems impossibly distant to me. A kid of 15, in my future lay marriage, children and a host of challenges that, though now in my past, would have seemed insurmountable to me at the time. I have written abou...

For the Luv: September 2008

Sunday, September 14, 2008. What It Doesn't Take. Critics are like eunuchs in a harem; they know how it's done, they've seen it done every day, but they're unable to do it themselves. With that in mind, and after much ado, I purchased the new CD on iTunes from Act of Congress. All I can say is, wow, was I wrong. Ten bucks doesn't begin to reward the talent shown by these musicians and vocalists. The band as a whole performs the harmonies and melodies on the album with a tightness that showcase their voca...

Saturday, October 17, 2009. The Only Thing We Have. 8220;Those who danced were thought to be quite insane by those who could not hear the music.”. I love my deck. Its not much, really. Some comfortable chairs, some floral arrangements and greenery. Surrounded by woods. Its quiet. Occasioned by the sounds of the distant neighbors dogs barking at imaginary bogey men. My iPod. Plays out my favorite songs du jour. From my deck you can see nothing. But from my deck you can see everything. I'm not the type to ...
