Good Friday Gethsemane

I posted this video in 2013 and then again in 2016. Since it's been eight years, I'm leaving it here for the third time. I'm a huge fan of the Jesus Christ Superstar movie, but this is the best rendition of the song, Gethsemane I've ever heard.  To those who celebrate, have a blessed and…

Beware of Being Recorded

Yes, even you can wind up on the internet without your knowledge. This time it was me. Let's see, I don't know where to begin with this post, but let's have a little fun with it today. So, I was walking my dog Tre in the neighborhood. I must not have been paying attention and…

Let’s Party or Let’s Sleep?

When I was twenty years old, I used to go to bars to see rock bands that started playing at 12:30am. Thirty plus years later now, I can't imagine doing that again. But, when my husband and I learned one of our favorite bands was coming to a bar in town, I started imagining. Could…

What Makes You Smile?

Today I'm continuing with my happiness theme from Friday. For a few months now I've been wanting to write a blog about what makes us smile. I don't mean a quick smile to someone on the street, or even a hearty laugh, but the kind where you feel joy right down to your core. I'm…

Rockin’ in Paradise

Those of you who have read me before, know that I'm a rocker chick. A rocker chick without any tattoos, and who doesn't go after the rock boys (at least not in a few decades). Rock music has got me in a strangle hold, baby, and I'm going to keep on lovin' it because this weekend…

Gethsemane

Every Easter weekend I usually find time to watch my favorite musical Jesus Christ Superstar (JCS). I’m generally not a musical kind a gal, although I’ve enjoyed a few (Dreamgirls and Wicked come to mind). I love JCS because it’s rock music and takes a look at the Passion of Christ from a different perspective…

Rebellious No More

Back in the day (you know, in the early 80's), my high school/college friends and I thought we were youthful rebels with our rock music. I've always been someone who couldn't pretend that I liked something if I didn't, and I didn't just like rock music, I loved it. I used to say, "I don't care how old…

Christmas Rocks!

Are you a fan of traditional Christmas music?I'm not. To each his own, of course, but even when I was a kid I didn't like Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer or Santa Claus is Coming to Town. Although, I did love the songs on my Partridge Family Christmas Album. Not that they were real rock…

Show me the Way

Every night I say a prayer in the hopes that there’s a heaven. But every day I’m more confused as the saints turn into sinners. All the heroes and legends I knew as a child have fallen to idols of clay. And I feel this empty place inside so afraid, that I’ve lost my faith.…
