This is the last post in this series, and I’m supposed to say what I’ve learned in the last 30 days. I learned that my mother didn’t know I considered her a superhero. I also learned that my iPod let me down when it had a chance to play some … Continue reading →
My favorite song is a Christmas Carol and a hymn. (The lyrics com from Lutheran Hymnal.com — this site looks like a good resource for Lutherans.) This is probably my favorite song. When I have to create my own music, this is one I tend to sing (not where any … Continue reading →
