welcome to multiple strands

a place to converse, virtually, on a variety of topics, bringing together multiple strands to encourage, question, challenge, ponder, and edify. A cord of three strands is not quickly torn apart. (Eccl. 4.12)

The Mighty Casey Has Struck Out...

I am not one to rub salt on open wounds, but in light of our culture in Wisconsin, particularly today after our 'beloved' Green Bay Packers have fallen one game short, I cannot help but think of the old refrain...

Oh, somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining bright,
The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light,
And somewhere men are laughing, and little children shout;
But there is no joy in Mudville — mighty Casey has struck out.


There's always next year. :)

See Casey At Bat
