Hello Grafted In Reader,
Today is Monday, April 14, 2025 in my corner of blog land. For Christianity this is Holy Week. For its Mother faith, Judaism, it is the season of Passover. Each in its unique way celebrates deliverance by God from an oppressive power, force, way of being, way of life!
If you are an observant faith person, I wish you all the best as you celebrate your seasonal tradition be that Holy Week or Pesach.
Our last visit was March 3, 2025. Much has happened since that time for yours truly.
- I replaced my Acer All-in-one computer with the same made by Lenovo.
- Stories for possible publication have been submitted to three different online venues. Results pending.
- Our family dog, Millie, underwent a minor procedure to alleviate bowel issues. She is much better today!
- One granddaughter begins her experience with middle school Track this week. We are hopeful she will knip her anxieties and find this to be a rewarding short-term experience!
Yesterday in our church service, the pianist played the Spiritual, "You've Gotta Walk That Lonesome Valley".
I learned this song and truth at age seven in our school music class. I find it inducing encouragement and personal responsibility simultaneously. Much truth in the lines,
You've gotta walk this lonesome valley, you've gotta walk it by yourself
Nobody else can walk it for you; you've gotta walk it by yourself.
Until our next visit, May HaShem (Almighty God) bless, keep, and make His face to shine on us.
Mellow Rock
