Has the time finally arrived to re-interpret hymn-standards?  Is this rendition which blends, "Amazing Grace" (John Newton 1779) with "House of the Rising Song" (The Animals 1964) effective and powerful?...

November was horrible for my family.  I was never so happy to see a month end.  On November 6th, my father passed away.  One week later my mother in law passed away.  Family disputes (on hubby's and my sides) have made the events very painful.  My MIL's service was the weekend following her death here in NY.  The day of calling hours we had a major snowstorm.  It was a miserable hour drive to...

Because he was crazy, mind you, not for any deeper reason than that,” confirmed local sheriff, Chuck Williams. “You guys know the drill, by now. We’ll take a look at his mental health, his social situation, what video games he played, and we’ll make damn sure you know what his middle name was, for some reason. “It’s a lot easier if it’s a middle-eastern shooter, to be honest.

I imagine that some pf you saw this as an opportunity to scream, spit vitriol and pummel others on the subject of illegal immigration and the undocumented. Sorry to disappoint, but this about the amazing birds and insects that come to visit me - and they are always welcome...
