Day of Rest: Rise Up Lazarus

 An excellent track from Patty Loveless' "Mountain Soul" album. I'm a sucker for great bluegrass harmonies.


 Enjoy the day of rest. Back to mayhem and murder next week.

Day of Rest - Boulder to Birmingham

I would rock my soul in the bosom of Abraham 
I would hold my life in his saving grace. 
I would walk all the way from Boulder to Birmingham 
If I thought I could see, I could see your face. 


Tomorrow it will be five years.  I'd still walk from Boulder to Birmingham to see you again.  Miss you beautiful girl.

Day of Rest: Leaning on the Everlasting Arms

Enjoying a cup of apple cider on this cold day.  Hope everyone is well.

Day of Rest: Gentleman Jim Reeves

"If I, a lowly singer, dry one tear, or soothe one humble human heart in pain, then my homely verse to God is dear, and not one stanza has been sung in vain."


- The inscription on Jim Reeves memorial in Carthage, Texas.






It's always a good day for Jim Reeves, but something about fall really puts me in the mood for him.  A warm, comforting voice to listen to as the nights get colder. 






I have about 30 hours worth of overtime coming in on my next paycheck.  Great money, but I've had little time for anything else.  My schedule for October is looking a little less hectic, work-wise, and I'm looking forward to reading, crafting, baking and writing.
So relax and enjoy Gentleman Jim Reeves, one of the nicer fellows on this blog.  Tomorrow, it's back to the grind(house).


 

Day of Rest: There is A Kingdom.

It was Nick Cave's 54th birthday on the 22rd.  So in honor of that, I'm posting this wonderful song.





Still working on the "project".  I will probably have more free time this upcoming month, which means I'll have more time to research and work on this blog.  Have a good rest of the day!

Day of Rest:Take Your Burden To the Lord And Leave It There

My ad­vice to you is put all your trou­bles in a sack, take ’em to the Lord, and leave ’em there.

- Charles Albert Tindley (Link)

It's lovely where I am.  Going to be pulling in a few extra shifts at work for the next two weeks, but I will continue to try to write and post when I can.

Have a good Sunday!

Day of Rest : Washington Philips -What Are They Doing In Heaven Today?

Day of Rest: Johnny Cash, February 26, 1932 – September 12, 2003

Ain't No Grave






Sometimes I am two people. Johnny is the nice one. Cash causes all the trouble. They fight

Day of Rest: In My Hour of Darkness

For this Sunday, a wonderful rendition of my favorite Gram Parsons song.

Day of Rest: Come on Up to the House

The world is not my home, I'm just passing through . . .

Day of Rest: Shine on Me

I've decided to devote Sunday to subjects that are a little "happier" then what's usually discussed on this blog. For August 1st's Day of Rest, it's Blind Willie Johnson's Shine on Me:

Enjoy!
