Look around the sight and stop by here before you leave

After having

been on a missions trip

I felt that I needed to record the

event. Then I met Mike and learned

what he could do in his studio. I told him I needed to make a recording using the story line that you find on my CD.

My thanks to Mike Mullis for all the help he has given me in the production of my CD.

Mike at his studio

If you ever get to

Billings Montana

here is a caller you

may want to look up.

We dance at:

Cedar Hall at Metra Park Arena in Billings, Montana

Thursday evenings (September - May)

from 7:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.

Hunter Keller - Caller

I would like to

say thanks to

George Edwards

for being a friend and mentor to me for all the years I have been calling square dance.

Clyde has been an active square dance caller since 1970 and has been cueing rounds since 1972.

Clyde and his late wife Ruth teach beginning (phase 2) and intermediate (phase 3 & 4) rounds on Tuesday nights through Frankenmuth Community Ed.

Though Ruth's address is now post marked "Heaven"

she is still a part of us and the activity we love.

Just knowing some people make us better people.

Vern was one of those people .

Some of the things I see and like in you are there because you knew Vern. When I see Vern in you I will remember him and we will rejoice.

My friend, Dave, wrote this really cool book called Backyard Dwellers

Original Article

I read about orthomyxoviridae. Those pesky little viruses that have been visiting so many of our homes. Flu. “Hemagglutinin and neuraminidase molecules cluster into a bulge in the cell membrane.” I know that because I read it on Wikipedia.

No wonder some of us didn’t feel good our hemagglutinins were clustered with our neuraminithingys! Nothing good can come of that.

Reading the about the common flu is like reading the list of possible side effects of a prescription. Intimidating. Read the possible side effects for a prescription for an antibiotic and you may need an antidepressant too. Frustrating. Read the possible side effects of an antidepressant and you need a vacation. Overwhelming.

I don’t understand the language.

Super Bowl! Just the word will cause some to salivate and others to yawn. And let’s be honest, drop the male female stereotype here - both do both. Forget the intricacies of the game, the strategies of timeout management, the passing game and running game, penalties, shots on goal, birdies, double dribble, and what partner’s best even mean.

If the voice wasn’t on the commercial most wouldn’t even know what in the world a Super Bowl XLVI was! How do you even pronounce Xlvi?

There’s a language issue.

When people don’t understand the language they tend to devalue what isn’t understood. “It’s only____________. It’s not that big of a deal. I really don’t care.”

Think this through - the last thing that you “devalued,” was it something that someone else valued and you didn’t understand why? The last time someone devalued something you valued was it possible that they didn’t understand the code?

Now think about being someone who is walking into your church as a guest. We just talked to them about our “hemagglutinin and neuraminidase” or our “half back option.”

I think we should keep the good news real. I think we should keep the good news reachable. I think we should not get too big for our own religious britches. I think we should be sure we are there for those who might not know our language.

Dave.
