Man In The Middle (Song, Michael Jackson, 1990s)

Hello Grafted In Readers,

Today is May 14, 2026 in my corner of Blog Land.

How is your month of May going for you?


It has been a busy month for me with some new things occurring in my life. I am learning to use the social site, Zoom Meeting online. This will help me be more involved with other avocational writers like myself.

In addition to reading another Victoria Thompson novel, City of Lies, I am embarking on reading a theological/historic book by one Dr. Bart Ehrman. He now depicts himself as a historian of early Christianity rather than a Christian historian. His book titled, How Jesus Became God, is of interest and intrigue to me.


With life influence in Lutheranism, I feel a bit 'out there' in being one to question things like God being One in Three Persons, the incarnation of Christ, infant baptism which Archaeology claims was instituted some centuries ago to answer response to a global plague. Most Lutheran clergy unlike Paul Harvey, only give their respective congregants part of the story...


I found this short explanation by the group, Jews for Jesus, helpful to put the notion of the Trinity in perspective. Read below.


In Messianic Jewish theology, while the terms "Trinity" and "triunity" are often used interchangeably to describe God as one Being in three persons, "triunity" or "complex unity" is preferred to emphasize compatibility with Hebrew scripture's affirmation of God as one (

 

). The distinction is largely semantic and strategic: "Trinity" can mistakenly suggest polytheism, whereas "triunity" highlights a compound unity that aligns with Jewish tradition.

Jews for Jesus (+1) - 


Me: I have a story idea noodling around about creating a short story about two sisters named Trinity and Serenity. Their names will have with them personality traits that befit each one, and act based on their name. It's a start!


My next read is by authors John and Jesse Kellerman, Crime Scene. His spouse, Faye Kellerman, was an author whose works I read a few years back and thoroughly enjoyed them at the time.


Until our next visit, may the Lord continue to bless and keep us!

Come visit me with a hello at Substack - please.

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
