The carpenter I hired to help me restore an old farm house had just finished a rough first day on the job. A flat tire had caused him to miss an hour of work, his electric saw quit, and now his ancient pick-up truck refused to start.

You came along, unexpectedly
I was doing fine in my little world

I can teach you things, but I cannot make you learn.
I can give you directions, but I cannot be there to lead you.
I can allow you freedom, but I cannot account for it.
I can take you to church, but I cannot make you believe.
I can teach [...]

But that doesn’t diminish its value. Because we [...]

I’ve always loved oldies. So I’ve come up with a compilation of songs that when I listen to, gives me a nostalgic feeling like I’ve been transported back to the past. And since this blog is about inducing a sense of nostalgia, I’m posting it here as well. It’s actually a nice feeling, longing for [...]
