UFO

Jim Sullivan was a unique musician in the 1970's. In 1974, he was convinced to go to Nashville to start a career. He was driving for 15 hours straight when the police made him get off the road. He ended up in a hotel in Santa Rosa, NM, then later got back on the road and drove 26 miles down a dirt road into the wilderness. He had an encounter with a family, then was never seen from again. His car was found abandoned.

Here is Jim Sullivan's UFO.



Lyrics.

Shakin like a leaf on the desert heat,
his daddy's got a bog that's hard to beat
Bought me a ticket got a front row seat.
I'm checkin out the show
with a glassy eye.
Looking at the sun dancing through the sky.
Did he come by UFO?
Lotta tricks were pulled in a book I read.
Only man I know that got up from the dead.
Lotta people living by the words that he said.
I'm checkin out the show
with a glassy eye.
Looking at the sun dancing through the sky.
Did he come by UFO?
Think he'll ever come again a different way
and maybe he has come and gone while I was away.
Too much goodness is a sin today.
I'm checkin out the show
with a glassy eye.
Looking at the sun dancing through the sky.
Did he come by UFO?
There is something happening that isn't too clear.
Just a little different than in previous years.
I think that happiness is getting very near.
I'm checkin out the show …
with a glassy eye.
Looking at the sun dancing through the sky.
Did he come by UFO?

Be still! It's a man

I love the outdoors. Whether it is kayaking down the river, hiking through the mountains, or watching birds in my backyard, I love seeing nature. Seeing life as it is without man.













But it seems that nature does not like man. Most animals as soon as they catch the scent of a man, freeze or run off. Marty Robbins captures this perfectly in a song, Man Walks Among Us. The beauty of nature, and the fear of man.

Going it alone

I've written in the past about my desire to have a mentor. Someone to help guide me in life, to give me advise, to be candid about how I am doing. To have someone like this, one must be willing to submit to them. I am willing to open myself up to a mentor, to allow them to look at and analyze my life and give recommendations. But I haven't found anyone willing to be one.

I approached a person once about being a mentor and their response was that I didn't need one, that I was doing just fine. I knew the answers, I just needed to act them out.

I recently was talking to someone about life and the desire to find advise for some decisions I was making. I had been unable to find anything from pastors, books, or online. He said that maybe God just wanted me to depend on Him for the decision.

Perhaps he is right. I have had a mentor the entire time, God.

Missile away!

Everyone has been freaking out about this supposed missile launch off the Pacific coast.



Is it an airplane? Is it ours? Is it the Chinese? Is it the Virginians?

In Virginia, two drivers got in a fit of road rage when one cut the other off on I-95. The victim chunked yogurt at the offenders vehicle. The offender responded by brandishing a handgun. Both then called the state police who directed them to pull of the highway where they were both arrested. The offender was charged with being a bad driver and brandishing a handgun. The yogurt chunker was charged with felony “throwing a missile at a vehicle.”
