Wait A Minute acoustic song, Seldom Seen

Hello Grafted In Reader,
When you were a youngster, did someone be it a parent or a teacher ever say to you, "Wait a minute."
The tone of voice was probably a bit stern when spoken. Well, this morning I had a correspondence in my inbox that was from a wrtier acquaintance. He replied to my email of 1 year ago. Life conditions were somewhat different at that time professionally speaking. Then last evening, Don M who is also a writer sent me a social media site invitation to connect. Still baffled on how to accept those ovetures from others. I emailed him and expressed my thanks and hope we might do plan B on future communicating.

On Sunday I left a writing group which had been a major part of my writing life for 20+ months. Technical issues were the reason, not ill-will or frustration with someone! "Wait a minute," is sure great advice when our lives feel like they are in turmoil and the celerity seems all too powerful for us to stabilize against! Reminding myself I am not the universe, nor the center of it, is a calming restorative in stressed times. We usually get the mercy which means limitless loyalty from G-d when passing through the valley of overwhelm.

I am thankful for a number of people who "just send something" during those times that are not known to them.. Yes, I am in a writer transition, but it is opening me to new possibilities, new experiences, new acquaintances, and yet an ongoing chronic desire to be strong and a role model of grace, courage, and maybe some inspiration.
Kevod Yeheveh, and cyber hug if so desired!

My Worth Is Not In What I Own (Acoustic, The Gettys)

Hello Grafted In Readers, Over the weekend, My wife and I were listening to, Great Hymns of Faith, from UCB Canada. An acoustic song for which this post is titled was played and the words are worth pondering. The artists, Keith and Kristyn Getty have a pure sound, an acoustic/folk music type of blend. I jotted down the lyrics, but hope you will take this a step further and listen for yourself as the song is on YouTube. "My worth is not in what I own, not in the strength of flesh and bone. But at the costly warmth of love, at the cross. "My worth is not in skill or make, win or lose, pride or shape; but in the blood of Christ that flows, at the cross." Note, I did jot down the lyrics from the recording and that is what I'm sharing with you! Kevod Yeheveh, may we value YHVH and find him to be truly beyond worth and beyond measure! Mellow Roc

From My Red Chair (Mellow Rock)

Hello Grafted In Readers, Today is June 5, 2025 in my corner of blog land. For a few posts, we are going to touch on mental health. Basically, find wisdom from reputable places to help our own understanding of God-given mental health. I have a book that will be released in a few months of five short stories. Each has a situation related to mental health of the character or characters. Its title, From My Red Chair" the same as this 'mini-series.' Our first observation, today, is pasted from the National Institute of Mental Health, NIMH. Thankfully, this agency still exists! OBSERVATION Mental health includes emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It is more than the absence of a mental illness—it’s essential to your overall health and quality of life.

I will be back to share another obser...

Sussudio (Phil Collins, '80s hit)

Hello Grafted In Readers, Today is Monday August 4, 2025 in my corner of blog-land. Mild weather is are lot these summer days. Mostly sunny, too. I heard the Phil Collins song, Sussudio, played on a station from northern Michigan earlier today, UPS 98.5. Looking up the title, it is said to mean something and nothing at the same time; It is allusion to a girl that Phil Collins liked, or fantasy of loving an older woman, according to online info. I have a couple expletivies that are self-made but can only recall them when the mood is exactly right. One is 'gosh darnit'. Another is, O) sugarfoot. How is your self-made vocabulary list? Go ahead, share one or two in the comments. Until next time, God bless and keep us. Mellow Rock David C. Russell
