Good Good Brothers
Once upon a time . . . I was part of a bluegrass band.
Last night I listened to bluegrass again. The group was the Good Brothers – an act from 30 years ago that’s still going. Not a bad thing at all!
They were good. As musicians they have paid their dues. They had some canned humor, but every once in a while got off on a humorous moment. That’s what I like – sponaneity!
The audience asked for an encore and received it. The frantic bango was fun, but the quieter pieces were also appreciated. And I love the whining high tenor of bluegrass combining to make the vocals a little edgy and fresh.
But, bluegrass begins to sound all the same after three hours. And even the best musicians fight hard seats and crowded auditoriums without a lot of ventilation. In all, enjoyable but I’m not rushing back for a repeat performance tomorrow!
Snow has fallen
The first significant snow has fallen.
Not to discount a few flakes earlier in the season. Every snowflake is significant!
But when you get gobs of snow, like gooing together all your halloween candy, then you are in trouble!
We’re keeping watch over another person’s house as well. I’m just wondering how much cardio exercise I really need!
Upside down I finally get it
I’ve been reading “Since nobody’s perfect, how good is good enough?” by Andy Stanley. It’s a fairly quick read (you can stretch it over a few days, or just take an hour or two). The content is the answer to the title question.
I’m sitting writing in my journal. I glance down. There, upside down, is a house of cards. I’ve picked up the book a number of times. Never seen it!
Maybe Harlequin has done a job of promising more on the cover than is inside. Maybe I’m so used to covers I don’t give them a second look.
Or maybe I’ve always seen things differently.
That’s what my family would say. As a kid I’d sit at the table. I’d try to explain some amazing thought. They never got it. I’d have to go back and rethink it. Rethink it from their perspective.
Always thought my thinking patterns were easy to follow. The question is — do others follow the same path? Maybe I just missed the short-cut and got there another way. Or did I have the short-cut?
