The new title is “Dave’s BLOG-- There’s Always More”. And the “Onion” is the new symbol of the BLOG. I hope you get the implications.

“Keep Our Head In The Clouds….”
Originally Posted August 13, 2021 I wonder how Moses felt coming down from Mount Sinai? He spent 40 days in the presence of God, conversing, receiving the 10 commandments.

Queen For A Day
If you’re over a 100 you may remember the T.V. show “Queen For A Day”. It ran from the mid 40’s to mid ‘60’s. Contestants would tell their “stories” and the audience would select the winner … the one who had the roughest situation. The “Queen” would get a crown and robe and sit on a … Continue reading Queen For A Day

January Doldrums

It can be a time … Continue reading January Doldrums
“Heaven”
Heavy Weight Champion Joe Louis once said, “Everybody wants to go to heaven, but nobody wants to die.”… that’s really true. The poet Robert Frost said, “ It’s hard to get into this world and hard to get out of it.” Wow, that’s also true. Well our good friend “Bone” had a lot to say about heaven too; he did … Continue reading “Heaven”

Blessed 2023. Wow, the number 2023 makes it seems like something out of an episode of Flash Gordon from 1934….rocket ships to the moon and Mars and beyond. Yet we are actually living in 2023. Time really does fly. I just read a beautiful “Prayer For The End of The Year”, by Catherine De Hueck Doherty in yesterday’s … Continue reading “Prayer For The End Of The Year”
