Greetings Blue Grass Lovers,

Debbie and I accompanied my mom and dad to the 40th annual Appalachian Festival today at a park along the Ohio River. Blue Grass music, authentic crafts, demonstrations and historic encampments marked the festival. Maybe most of you don't know that my people come from the hills of Kentucky--so I felt right at home.

I bought Debbie a beautiful artisan crafted hammered dulcimer, one of the authentic musical instruments of early America. She is honing her technique right now.

That is about it for today--the Reds are on the televison and they are up 2-0 over the hated Cardinals. Big win last night for the hometown team 6-4. Looking forward to being home late on Monday.

Thanks for your prayers.

Pastor Rick

I am actually very boring--in just about every way imaginable. Unless you happen to hit one of my "On" switches--and you happen to share that passion. What are the switches? In random order: college football, especially Ohio State variety; politics; the Kingdom of God; baseball; American history. I know nothing about music. I am totally and thoroughly ignorant about pop culture--proudly and blissfully ignorant, I might add. I go to about three movies a year. I decline every Facebook, Plaxo, or whatever else request to be a friend over the internet. Real friends would never send me that stuff. I know virtually nothing about science, medicine, technology, architecture or women's clothing sizes. I cannot program, record or work anything more complicated electronically than the television remote. Right now I am feeling better because I have confessed my true misanthropic soul before the entire world.
