About the Blog Name

As many of you know, I have been debating for quite a while whether or not to get back into blogging. There are SO MANY good, no GREAT blogs out there now. Do I have anything else to offer?

The answer I came up with is YES. Not that I am a better blogger, writer, thinker, or anything like that. But I humbly believe that some of the situations I find myself are fairly unique, possibly giving me a perspective on issues that might be interesting to others.

So yes, it is 2nd rate. But with the bar set so high, is that so bad? I hope you will think not.

Finally Digitizing those old LP's


For my 20th Anniversary at work, I got a Crosley CR248 Songwriter. While certainly not audiophile quality, it does the job of copying LP's and Cassettes onto CD's. I don't know that I would pay $300 for one, but for free it's pretty cool.

So now I am reliving my teen years. I had a song pop into my head this morning from the Sweet Comfort Band. This is a Late 70's Christian Rock Band that I was heavily into in those days. So tonight I am converting their Album "Breaking the Ice" to a CD.

It's bringing back lots of memories of those days. I would have been maybe 15 or 16. I hung around with a group called Young Life (still active today) and my horizons were pretty narrow. I was a very shy, very introverted kid in those days. I was a real chameleon, and that was probably for the best. Since I hung around "good" Christian kids for the most part, I also was "good." Since this was the era of tight short shorts and lots of sex (and the advent of AIDS) I was fortunate to avoid activities which doomed so many others to an early grave. Don't get me wrong, I took my new Christian faith seriously. It was and is a very real part of my life. I am just marveling at how simple life was back then. Things were much more black and white, it seems. I believe my faith is now much deeper, and it is certainly broader. But you know there are times when I've Got to Believe that God is Breakin the Ice of my life continually. It's a Good Feeling to Know.
