    Feeling thankful today for misty, grey-green fall days…


    must be a bit o’ the Irish in my heart.

    (edit 8:15 pm…..here’s the music I wanted to put with this mood
    couldn’t access it earlier, from work)


    edit#2..well that’s a little frustrating! The webserver where my music is
    stored/hosted is down..I’ve put up Louis from another site, but this has happened before,
    and I think I’ll start looking for a more reliable home for my music files

  • nope, not the Irish in you. I ain’t got none in me and I love the fall too – grey green and misty or red brown goldenrod happiness.

  • It’s not only the Irish in me that embraces the same (and misses it immensely) but the whole sense of change that Fall brings.

    I thought of you yesterday as I pondered the possibilities of keeping my current job and picking up an extra registry shift once a week or every other week. Or just going registry.
    Sometimes I wish I’d been the ICU type.

  • PSS: Did you take that background shot? It’s beautiful.

  • Fall is such a good season, the cooling down after a hot summer, very relaxing time…enjoyed your picture…Be well Bro……Mike

  • I agree with the above comment about the shot being beautiful.  It was one of those excrutiatingly beautiful days here in East Tennessee too!  I was enjoying and praising God all day myself.  It was so pretty I can’t stand it!  still is tonight!

  • Great music, btw!

  • Thanks for your concern…actaully I wear tri-focals and really enjoy them…the middle view is for things 18″ away like the computer screen…..have a great grey-greenish day in Him,

  • My computer’s sound isn’t working, so I can’t hear the music you chose.  I love your picture, though!  It looks like Ireland to me (Irish, too).

  • Hi Jim. Thanks for stopping by. Unfortunately I can’t hear the music. God bless.

  • What a beautiful serene background and music….*aaahhhh*……thank you for the comment on the poetry….It is foggy here today as well…I find peace in that also.

  • Gorgeous.  Makes one want to just stop everything and take a long, deep breath.

    ryc: I appreciate your views!  I agree with you wholeheartedly.  I was talking with an older gentleman last week about the business he conducts for his company in Japan.  He was amazed at how it’s their (Japan’s) implicit policy that business IS personal.  He was treated like family there, invited to daughters weddings’, brought home to meet the family and have dinner, etc.  It REALLY struck me as the way things SHOULD happen and I became sad because it’s not how we do things in America.  Don’t get me wrong – I love America, but I do think there’s room for improvement…

    Thanks!!

  • Beautiful day! God is good..

  • Thanks for stopping by my site.  :)

    I got a bill the other day too…  Too bad the consequences are so bad if you just toss ‘em.

  • thanks, jim. many blessings for your travel and time up north. it’s a great time of year to be there! get some good photos!

  • Thanks for the good word. I was speaking yesterday with the head of Spiritual Formation at Cornerstone. He told me about a friend of his that was a pastor in Trinidad. Some church came down to the island to build a building for this church. The only problem was that the Trinidadian church didn’t need or want a building. But these people were there and had the materials. So they put up a pole barn in the middle of the soccer field and had their pictures taken with it. Shortly after the team left, the Trinnies tore it down. What a waste.

    If you are ever in the area, there will be a very interesting half day on Oct. 7 at Mars Hill. David Livermore wrote a book called Serving With Eyes Wide Open and he’ll be talking about joining the oppressed with a posture of cultural intelligence. He did something similar in February with case studies of tentative African churches who’d been burned by Western churches and Western churches who were trying to minister to the African church. Very interesting and thought provoking.

    Take care,
