My personal favorite month is just about over. It has found me taking 856 photos so far this month (as of this day and time of morning).
It is a time of year when nature starts preparing for winter. Animals fatten up (including me), the sugars in leaves make for admirable fall colors, kids seem to get more energetic with cool days and chilly nights. You gotta love it. Continue reading “October is the best”
Gang, I am so sorry for all these YouTubes lately. It seems every one I’m sent or watch lately strikes a funny bone in me. I promise I will return to my sarcastic ways real soon.
This YouTube is on OFNi DaniC’s Facebook wall from OFNi Whitty…I think. It is funny and sad all in the same clip, none the less. Be sure to listen carefully at the 1 minute 10 second mark of the clip – I’ve got a dog just like Simon’s Sister’s :) Continue reading “EHR: Simon’s Sister’s Dog in ‘Fed Up’”
From co-worker Ryan. This one brings tears to my eyes…and pains to my stomach. I have sang this same song before…maybe Shane and I can go on that “So You Can Duet” show on CMT next season.
Thanks Ryan – Shane only gets better each time he sings. Continue reading “EHR: Shane can sing 5 octaves…so he says”
Just in case you missed it, see the YouTube below of President Obama’s address to the Nation as to what he has thus far accomplished while in office. Ya just sometimes gotta love good SNL skits. It seems they (good skits) can get so far and so few in between these days.
One refreshing thing about Saturday Night Live, they usually will not pull punches on their satirical renditions (or meanness) of any one political party’s lunacy, or a celebrity’s stupidity.
Regardless of your political persuasion, this is funny. If not…lighten up would ya. Continue reading “What he’s done – naada”
Email Inspiration Received (EIR) today from my good friend David (Stapp), whom I haven’t spoken face-to-face with in probably 8 years, but have recently been forwarding emails to each other. Here’s how this message goes today:
_____________________________________________
A man and his dog were walking along a road. The man was enjoying the scenery, when it suddenly occurred to him that he was dead.
He remembered dying, and that the dog walking beside him had been dead for years. He wondered where the road was leading them.
After a while, they came to a high, white stone wall along one side of the road. It looked like fine marble. At the top of a long hill, it was broken by a tall arch that glowed in the sunlight. Continue reading “EIR: This explains why I forward jokes…”
Email Inspiration Received: Got this email from OFSIL Becky this morning…many of you may have received or read it before this posting, but I certainly hadn’t. It makes starting my day knowing “enough” really is a pretty nice amount. Thanks Bec.
Subject: Wonderful message
Pray You ENOUGH:
Who knew this? Today’s Full Moon (10/4/09) is called a “Hunter’s Moon”. Native Americans of New England and the Great Lakes refer to the full moon at this time of the year because the deer are fat and it’s time to hunt (as well as many other animals). Since all the crops are harvested, it’s now time to gather food by hunting animals…but it’s all kind of contrary to the weekly observance of 10/26: Give Wildlife a Break Week.
October is an incredibly busy (and popular) month for special occasions and observances. I trust y’all will be joining me in the on-going daily, weekly, and monthly holiday and event celebrations in October. Of all the observances going on this month, I would like to point out a few of particular interest to me:
Bebo Norman, a favorite contemporary Christian artist of mine having 30-songs/1.9-hours worth of music on my iPhone.
I find his music to be great in that it will bring you back to where you’re supposed to be (not to mention easy to sing along with – you listen, you watch…you will be singing harmony with him before you know it).
Hope you enjoy the YouTube links to a few of his songs that have 5-star ratings on my playlist…. Continue reading “Bebo”
