This is an interview I did back in 2012. I thought it deserved new life, so I’m presenting it here again. Today I’m blessed to be bringing you my interview with musician Jeff Johnson, who has a remarkable Celtic voice. I have been a fan for a long time. If you’re not familiar with his…

Thoughts on Halloween
Not my favorite holiday, but I don’t have anything against trick-or-treat fun. It’s fun for the kids, and some adults are still kids at heart. No one I know is out to promote evil on this day. Those who do, do it on any day of the year, I would imagine. So I’m not up…
Desires
Desires MAY I speak each day according to Thy justice, Each day may I show Thy chastening, O God; May I speak each day according to Thy wisdom, Each day and night may I be at peace with Thee. Each day may I count the causes of Thy mercy, May I each day give…
If We Only Knew
As they say, hindsight is 20/20. We have hindsight regarding 2020 now, don’t we? I’ve talked before about what we’ve learned during this pandemic and what lessons we’ll keep in order to change things for the better. I expect it won’t be too long now before we as a society go back to taking our…
Sneak Peek Into My Current Project
If you arrived here because you followed a link in my newsletter, thanks for reading! I promised you a sneak peek into what I’m working on. Full disclosure, this novel is barely begun. I’ve plotted a bit, rewritten, throw out, and written again (and again). So there is currently just one chapter written. In my…
It Must Be May!
It’s been raining a lot in Ohio, but between downpours I’ve gotten outside to check out spring. May never disappoints. I also got out to see some Major League Baseball, which is a big deal because fans weren’t allowed in 2020. This spring is definitely different than last year. Consumer retail and services: all employees…
5 Things to Remember This Spring
1. Flowers Did you miss flowers over the winter? I did. That’s why I often got cut flowers from Trader Joe’s. Isn’t the world so much prettier when flowers are blooming? 2. Color It gets pretty gray and brown in Central Ohio in the winter. I think that’s why I’m always surprised by the vivid…
Happy St. Paddy’s Day!
Paddy, Not Patty, Please Yes, it’s Paddy, not Patty, despite what you see spread all over the place in the US. In Ireland Patty is a girl’s name (it is here too, ever call a man Patty?) and they don’t like you calling the saint a girl. It’s an easy mistake to make, but now…
The Year That Felt Like Ten
Well, it seems a year has passed since the US declared COVID-19 a pandemic. I’m reminding myself it’s only been a year because it seems like ten, or a trillion or something. I remember when I first wore a mask in public, at least in 2020. (I wore one to visit my newborn grandson in…
5 Things Creative-Types Learned During the Pandemic
Background I recently attended RootsTech online. It was a fabulous genealogy conference and all free. At the conclusion the CEO of FamilySearch, Steve Rockwood, gave a terrific, inspiring speech. All of these kinds of events, at least all of them that I know of, had to move online last year and so far this year…
