Book: Human Being Human Doing (three years-old on May 23)

Hello Grafted In Reader,


Today is May 20, 2026 in my corner of blog land. We had a taste of summer weather over the weekend, but as of today and through much of the upcoming holiday weekend here in the U.S., we'll be cooler with daytime highs in the mid to upper sixties, twenties C.


I have a few things to discuss with you. First and foremost is my book titled, Human Being Human Doing.

The stories are six in number and are about people who shared very challenging times in their respective lives. This includes: imposed genocide, chronic neurosis, dysfunctional royal family, marital discord, two past friends making amends, and a international symposium to celebrate Shavuot or Pentecost.

Carley M asked I share the following take-away with you from her reading of Human Being Human Doing:

What stood out to me most is how the book seems to explore the difference between simply existing and truly experiencing life. The title itself carries a thoughtful tension between who we are internally and the constant movement, responsibilities, and reactions that shape our daily lives. 


Good news perhaps, the title will be $0.99 cents from May 22 through May 25, 2026.

You may get the link from My Substack beginning Thursday May 21. Or, you can simply Google

"Human Being Human Doing "David C Russell" "draft2digital.com"  The promotion is titled, Summer Starter.

In terms of reading, I am back to reading a Kellerman novel, but this time the authors are John and Jesse Kellerman, not Faye Kellerman. The title is "Crime Scene" about a nine-hour read, psych thriller set in Northern California.

I am also new into a faith-based nonfiction title introducing a new perspective about the Bible character, Paul, known as the Paul In Judaism Perspective. It makes some seeming bold claims concerning this man and his Jewish identity and practice.


Not much else to share this visit. By the way, my coffee-cup is almost empty, too.


May the Lord continue to bless and keep us as seasons and life surely commence forward.


In advance, please consider giving yourself the title, Human Being Human Doing - this weekend. It's primarily in EBook form.


Shalom,

Mellow Rock

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. Note: Hmm, mental health is more than the absence of mental illness. That's my takeaway from this snippet. If you'd like to share your takeaway from this, please comment. 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
