I could have also titled this blog post “Young and Stupid” but, I will let you make the judgement call on this after reading. (Photo gallery at the end of the post) In the past couple of weeks, I’ve been in vacation planning mode. We have a trip to the Southern US planned for late May, a weekend getaway to…
I thought I should update all 5 of my faithful blog readers on my weight loss journey as I’ve been slacking on writing the past few weeks. It’s been exceptionally busy work-wise and after I type tons and tons of emails all day, I don’t feel like typing anymore in the evening. But, I’m back with a little update. A…
Here’s an oldie, but a good one. I just happen to be a fan of Southern Gospel music. I went to my first Gaither concert at 15 years old in Michigan – with a room filled with grey-haired folks. It was a good time. I started to watch Gaither Homecoming videos around that time and a song that I absolutely love…
Back to the 1980’s music. The year was 1988; July to be exact and my parents sent me off to summer camp for 2 weeks. This was the first time I had been away from my parents for any length of time so it was a big deal. I went to “Camp Woodeden,” which is operated by the Easter Seals…
You know…you live your whole life not having to worry about certain things, and then one day you realize that the time has come. You’re faced with a situation you have never come across and you are forced to deal with it, like it or not. It’s part of life and it’s inevitable. For me, this time came earlier this…
Well…This week was busy. Almost too busy to post my song of the week, but I don’t want to miss so here it is. This song doesn’t require too much explanation. It’s just a song I’ve heard on Christian radio for a few years, but it wasn’t until I saw the video that it really stuck with me. Have a…
Ahhh…the 1980’s & 1990’s. Big hair, awesome music, ugly cars, video games, the introduction of the personal computer. What a time to be alive! This was the era I grew up in and it was an interesting time to have a disability. In the 1970’s there were all kinds of laws that were passed in Canada and the United States…
If I had to pick an era of music that I am most interested in, it would definitely be the 1980’s. Mostly because the music is nostalgic, having listened to plenty of music in the car as a child, or in stores while shopping with my parents. This particular song was written by David Foster & John Parr for the…
Today is February 18th, which just happens to be my sisters birthday. Although I haven’t likely acknowledged it, she was and has been a very important person in my life. She has never asked for any credit or acknowledgement for what she has done for me and maybe she doesn’t even realize how much of a contribution she’s made to…
I’m going to stick with my statement that country music won’t likely be found on this blog, so let me make this clear – This is Southern Gospel, NOT Country music. 🙂 I went to a Gaither Homecoming Concert in Toronto with Joy at the Air Canada Centre in 2005 or 2006. It was the second Gaither Concert I had…
