This on is a tearjerker about the struggles of a son upon the death of his father
My father had a Randall knife
My mother gave it to him
When he went off to World War II
To save us all from ruin
Now if you've ever held a Randall knife
You'll know my father well
And if a better blade was ever made
It was probably forged in hell
Taking Water-Billy Strings
Cherry Pie - Marvin and Johnny
give me, give me some.
Some cherry cherry pie
Here is a cover aimed at a more genteel audience (by that I mean white)
I haven’t seen REO Speedwagon - You Take It on the Run. A cheesy 80’s ballad.
Bible in a Year :
We . . . would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord.
My friend Joann passed away from a stroke just as the coronavirus began to spread in 2020. At first her family published that her memorial service would be at her church, but then it was determined it was best to hold it at a funeral home to control the size of the group attending. The new notice online read: Joann Warners—Changed Venue.
Yes, her venue had changed! She’d gone from the venue of earth to the venue of heaven. God changed her life years before, and she lovingly served Him for nearly fifty years. Even while she lay near death in the hospital, she asked about others she loved who were struggling. Now she’s present with Him; she has changed venues.
The apostle Paul had the desire to be with Christ in another venue (2 Corinthians 5:8), but he also felt it would be better for the people he served for him to remain on earth. He wrote to the Philippians, “It is more necessary for you that I remain in the body” (Philippians 1:24). When we grieve for someone like Joann, we may cry out to God something similar: They’re needed here by me and many others they loved and served. But God knows the best timing for their change of venue and our own.
In the Spirit’s strength, we now “make it our goal to please [God]” (2 Corinthians 5:9) until we see Him face-to-face—which will be far better.
Reflect & Pray
In what ways are you revealing your love for God and others where you are right now? How might you serve Him today?
I give myself anew to You, God. Please fill me with Your Spirit of love and make my life count for You.
Sorry...I got called back into work. I’ll try to respond as I can.

NBC’s “Friday Night Videos”

Check out some of the guest hosts. The show gave us videos like this in 1984. Also an early MTV staple. The word “take” occurs often in that song.

Okay. I was just saying that the LA Dodgers should change their name since the Dodgers, a name associated with Brooklyn, doesn’t exist anymore, when they left Brooklyn.
