Hello, Group.
It is good to be back.
The Easter Holiday is special to me on so many levels.
Memories of my childhood and the great Easter Sundays I spent at the Brownstown Baptist Church. I can still hear that choir sing, “UP FROM THE GRAVE HE AROSE!” That I can still hear it all so clearly is a musician’s blessing. I know how fortunate I am.
This is the church I was married in back in 1996 to my dear wife, Carrie. John Abbott married us. For years, including 2022, John and I went back and forth each February 10th. I never ceased to thank him. John passed away recently. But I know that was just a new beginninig. Good Easter to you, John.
Easter is new life. Walking around the last few days and a couple weeks ago on the North Carolina coast, I thought I would share a few photos.
I never tire of looking forward to see the sun come up in the morning. Whether it is over the railroad tracks below the Tunnel Hill bridge or the North Carolina coast.
For me, the water offers a new perspective that is bright and full of possibility.
A couple Saturdays ago I was at Indiana University Southeast doing a little writing. I was the only one in the room and it was a peaceful experience. What I learned in some of those classrooms I now hope I can pass along to my students.
It was nice to walk around the old place again.
Speaking of walking. I enjoy walking along St. Louis Road toward Milltown. I have mentioned this many times on these pages. The photo above was taken a month or so ago. There is no way I can put together all the photos I would like to share. This is the first post I have made since early March, I think. And only the second one in two months or so.
Yesterday I took a long walk.
What a lovely day it was yesterday.
After a while on the paved road, I decided to take the walk behind the house and into the woods and say hello to a busy and raised Blue River.
It won’t be long. These woods will be filled with leaves and more critters and I don’t know what all. It is very sweet to pay a visit when the woods are teeming with new life. Thanks be to God!
My how things change in thirty-seven years. Last night was the return of the United States Football League. It was a spring football league that lasted from 1983 to 1985. Last night in the Louisville televison market, you could tune in to watch this game on either WAVE 3 or WDRB 41. When the USFL was televised all those years ago, the Louisville ABC affiliate did not carry the games. They differed. Be glad you have no idea how difficult it was to make out those football games watching them from a grainy over the air signal from Channel 7 in Evansville. But that is what my Dad and I did. Last night, it was all there in HD for the Louisville market to enjoy. New life.
Good Easter to you!
