My Morning Walk
Before the sun comes up, I walk the neighborhood with my little Shih Tzu named Bandi. He weighs about 22 pounds is brindle-colored.

Christmas 2021
Merry Christmas 2021 & Happy New Year 2022 Thinking about what Christmas means this year my mind wondered to one of the greatest anointed writers of all time. George Frederick Handel. Anyone who can sit down and in 24 days write a 259-page score of music for the Messiah had to experience a great anointing.Continue reading “Christmas 2021”
