Trust and Obey


For some of you these songs will make you angry. That's not my intent.

For the last two years, I have gone up and down, back and forth, finding it hard to want to enter through the doors of our church, wanting my kids to continue learning verses in Awana, but struggling with trying to sort it all out....how in the tarnation did this happen to my sister and so many others, at the hands of/with the acquiescence of the people who led chapel and Sunday night service.

Here's where I'm at on Friday, August 24th, 2012: the God who created this world sent His only begotten Son to die for me, to pay the penalty for my sins. He has forgiven me of all my sins. With His help (and with the ministry of many on this site), I have forgiven others. It's time for me to move on. Will New Tribes mission deal with everything? Will I quit posting country music videos and songs from the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir. I don't know. I wish my wife would read all the stuff I post, but she, and my father-in-law (and others indirectly) say I need to move on.....but this is like Mountain Dew to a thirsty traveler...a diabetic thirsty traveler.....nothing like a Snickers and a Mountain Dew......a merry heart doeth good like a medicine, so I place a Snickers/Mountain Dew above Metformin, but only when I'm out and about being disobedient to my doctor.

Hey folks, we are a special group of people. God has blessed us with experiences that only we can share and relate to. I really appreciate you people......OK, Sherpa, now that I'm calm and less attorney-like, come back and let's have a cafezinho and discuss soccer. Uma boa noite a todos, at least until I find the next song on youtube that has encouraged me in the valleys and/or given me oxygen on the moutain top................nothing like Metformin/Snickers/Mountain Dew and some lithium.......look that one up in the Merck Manual, Sully, then ask your wife.........she was/is a nurse, correct?

When I'm living in Tennessee, it's easy to remember all the good and wonderful things about Brasil.
When I'm in Sao Paulo, it's easy to think about my family and all the good and wonderful things about my country.

I hope everyone is equally as proud of their country. I don't post patriotic songs to cause division. I post them out of respect for my youngest sister, born in Dourados, Mato Grosso do Sul, who served our country with distinction, including a year in Iraq.

I'm very thankful for my family, my heritage (on both sides of the family tree) and my country.

This is my favorite youtube version of our anthem. It has football, Tuskegee airmen, two former presidents, the missing man formation, Tom Brady...the husband of a Brazilian supermodel (not as pretty as my wife, probably doesn't know how to turn on a stove, and I doubt she has ever had to change a diaper, or wait in a car line, or entertain New Tribes missionaries last Sunday and Monday, or make ends meet week after week, or live 4,500 miles from her mom while raising four kids) and Terrell Owens....I hope things click for him this season.

The Cactus Cuties sing The National Anthem Original Video

Arden Callahan showed me this video (above) 2 or 3 years ago.
Arden Callahan taught us choir when I was in 7th and 9th.

Here's a song for him....he served our country in the United States Navy, as did Memories' father:

US Navy Anchors Aweigh


Memories' father told us he learned in the Navy (as a cook): when in doubt, throw it out.

Ray Stevens - The Mississippi Squirrel Revival

Larry, we don't have to meet in Pascagoula. We can meet in Sanford. I'll bring the squirrel. You bring the weed-eater.

On a Hill Far Away

One of my favorite memories of Bible school was Chris Mechler imitating Chuck Bero on stage during skit night.
Dear Mr. Burkhart described Mechler as a pioneer missionary.....Chris worked in Mongolia at some point after Bible School, sleeping outside on the steppe.

I also miss singing with Steve Crockett in our quartet. I would pay big money (at least five reais) to sing "Just a Little Talk with Jesus Makes it Right" with Steve and Ronnie and Davy Jank. I liked that song because I got the best part...hehe.

I bet Moses looked more like that one guy instead of Charlton Heston.

GOLD CITY -I Cast My Bread Upon The Water


I don't know who will get to sing bass in the quartet in heaven, but I vote for Tim Riley

Going to visit my grandmother today in Jacutinga
Don't know if she remembers me
But I bet she remembers the Old Rugged Cross....I'll bet she'll sing it with me
If the effectual fervent prayer.....what in the world is an "effectual"....of a righteous man availeth much, imagine the prayers of a 97-year-old South Dakota Norwegian, singing and praying on the porch of that house next to Peniel
If you need something prayed for, let me know now before I leave.....because she'll pray for you today....very fervently, and God will produce the effect.
