Some of you might recall the other day when I said I was feeling 50 something. Not today. Today is Friday, March 14, 2025, and perhaps it just happened to be one of those days when you wake up feeling like 78 years, 6 months, plus the 9 my mom carried me. Yep. All of those. But, guess what? I still feel pretty good and who knows? Tomorrow I might be feeling 50 something again. The photo of Lil Miss Biscuit was made last night around 11 p.m. I had fallen asleep in the recliner with her in my lap. Again. I know. That's the move of a 78 year old. I agree. That Biscuit is a funny little critter. She has her own little fenced pen, but, she does her best to stay out of it as much as possible. If she thinks I am thinking about putting her in the pen she will play like she is sleeping, hoping I will not disturb her. (Note to self: Google what a 50 something feels like so I will know it next time I feel that way.) Just joking. That Biscuit will flat wear you out. She is rambunctious, and, tireless. I've never seen anyone she didn't love. There may have been one or two she was neutral in her response but that reflected more on them than her. She is a live wire and generally a happy little pup. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, writer of Sherlock Holmes, had this to say, "A dog reflects the family life. Whoever saw a frisky dog in a gloomy family, or a sad dog in a happy one? Snarling people have snarling dogs, dangerous people have dangerous ones." A heavy thought for a Friday, but, one we all can understand. Right? I thought so.

| CityAlight band, give them a listen. |
I went to sleep watching a TV program about the goings on in an ancient kingdom in Korea. I am a sucker for historically accurate period pieces. It had subtitles. Needless to say, you don't read the subtitles when you are asleep. Hey. I'm just trying to inform anyone who might be wondering. When I woke up I texted forth and back with the wife for about twenty minutes. They are first attending a big Southern Gospel singing festival in Northeast Louisiana before going on to visit her brother. We listen to and watch a lot of Southern Gospel here in our home but not exclusively. We love hymns both ancient and modern. I mentioned before about this group from Australia, called CityAlight. They have a contemporary sound set to some of the most God honoring lyrics I'm seen. If you have YouTube you can easily call them up. I enjoy lyrics that reflect truth, I enjoy lyrics quoted directly from The Scriptures, those that you don't have to scratch your head to get the meaning. Sometimes so called Christian songs have really great music but lack a clear presentation of truth. That, at least, is my gut on the subject. Does preference play a role? No doubt. But, I still believe the truths reflected in the lyrics makes it God honoring or not.
Okay. It's hard to believe, but, it's already Friday and as my grandfather used to tell me, "Son, you've got the same shoes to get glad in." And, so I do, and so do you as well. May our TGIF be a true recognition of He who has brought us to where we are today. He can be trusted to see us through until the end. Have a great Saturday and Lord's Day Sunday, and, Lord willing I will catch back up with you soon. Amen.
