Our Friday podcast is open to everyone in this week, in honor of Saint Valentine’s Day. Click on the image below for a special gift discount today. .When did young lads and lasses begin to give each other presents on February 14? All the way back in the French courts in the high Middle Ages, it seems – and those French courts included the ones in E…

You might think it would be hard to turn our Word of the Week, romance, to a hymn — unless you’re steeped in the poetry of the Middle Ages. Every time I say, “Middle Ages,” I hope you’ll think of all the bold and bright color of those high times between about 1000 and 1300, when the weather was warm, the Vikings were growing barley on the coasts of…

In honor of our Word of the Week, candle, I’d like to look at someone whose works to me are like a candle in the dark, Charles Dickens. I’m thinking here of that powerful light in the window, set in that wonderful ship turned into a house on the beach at Yarmouth, in the novel David Copperfield.

We scheduled our Word of the Week to go out on Monday as usual, but just see now that it did not go out. So here it is now, and we hope better late than never! When Joseph the patriarch was dying, he asked his brothers to make sure that his bones would not stay in Egypt. “God will surely visit you,” he said, “and bring you out of this land, unto th…

I’ve been holding a place for today’s Sometimes a Song for a very long time. And when we were discussing a choice for our Word of the Week, I mentioned to Tony that someday he’d have to give me an chance to use “Georgia on My Mind.” So, he immediately piped up with the word, farmer! I’ll take that challenge (but I do think that Tony should have off…
