DEBORAH ROBINS – LONE JOURNEY Here lately, I have been blessed to acquire a couple of new CDs. I don’t buy CDs often, anymore, which I suppose is OK since I don’t sell CDs often, anymore. Then again, I don’t download recordings from iTunes or some other digital service, either. As musicians, we can get…
Are numbers ever nefarious? Do numbers themselves have a wicked agenda? I reckon numbers don’t care what they are. They are just numbers. It is, I suppose, their significance to us in certain arenas that render them nefarious or not. Seven is a lucky number on a craps table, but only on your come…

In an earlier blog post, I discussed the list. Lots of folks want to know about the list, some of which I share, but most of which I keep to myself. “How are you doing?” an acquaintance recently asked. “Just fine,” I said on automatic pilot. “And you?” They beleaguered me with their entire list,…
NOTE: 5/5/16 – I started out not allowing comments. I then started to allow some. I am back to not allowing any: none, nada, zip, zilch. Write your own blog if you want to have a voice, as this one is mine. Please be advised that I cannot respond on WordPress to any message you…
It is Cinco de Mayo, which, for me, has only the significance of being May the 5th. Mexicans are flocking in record numbers to this country, leaving behind one that has harsh laws for those who would emigrate there, and its emigres demand the right to move here and stay here and bring their relatives…
“How are you doing?” I was recently asked by an acquaintance. It is the functional equivalent of saying, “Good morning,” as no one really expects or wants the answer to the question if it’s other than an automatic, “Just fine.” Then, there is the list. My brother is a wonderful man. I treasure our relationship…
We’ve absorbed so much foolishness, it has become part of us. We drip with it. This morning, I read about a reaction of the student government at Emory University after some students reported they had felt threatened after seeing “Donald Trump 2016” written in chalk on some campus sidewalks. The student government was offering free…
Media of any sort is a powerfully curious thing. But this thing called the internet, and its child, social media, is more than curious. It is downright dangerous. I have noticed from observing the stats collected by WordPress for my blog site that I get far more hits when I post my reaction to current…
Hosea 8:7 For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk; the bud shall yield no meal: if so be it yield, the strangers shall swallow it up. It’s worse than simply the whirlwind. Read it again. It’s not just sowing the wind. Having been sown, the wind…
