I was born in Framingham, my family lived in Ashland. My roots go back to the mid 1600’s in Ipswich, Salem, and Topsfield on my maternal grandmother’s side and Sturbridge (Southbridge) on my grandfather’s side. My father’s kin were all from South Weymouth. A few years ago we went back to Salem and Boston and had a wonderful time sigthseeing, but I don’t know that I could survive a winter there. As they say, “it’s a nice place to visit, but.....”

I have played gigs in every town you mentioned! LOL!

The History and sightseeing are wonderful there, especially in the autumn.

Indeed.

Then there’s the 100 foot cord and the hairdryer to unfreeze the car door locks.

that’s always good for a laugh.

In Ashland too? At Stone’s Public House, by any chance? We had lunch there a couple years ago when we were visiting. It is just down Main Street from my grandparents house. Small world. :-)

I did a gig there, for a bunch of Russians!

I used up all my Russian Songs and then handed the mic over to a family member. LOL.

“Gorgeous Inside”

October 11, 2013

It’s a rather nondescript house that sits on a busy thoroughfare. With no distinctive characteristics, this rather plain home is easy to ignore. But as I drove past it the other day, I noticed a “For Sale” sign in the yard. Attached to the sign was a smaller notice that happily announced: “I’m gorgeous inside.” While I’m not in the market for a new house, that sign intrigued me. What could make this otherwise forgettable house gorgeous inside?

It also made me wonder: Could that sign apply to us as followers of Jesus? Think about it. No matter what we look like on the outside, shouldn’t there be within us a beauty that reveals God’s love and work in our lives?

What does the Bible say about inner beauty? We might start with Romans 7:22, which says, “In my inner being I delight in God’s law” (niv). A few verses later in Romans 8:6, Paul speaks of a Spirit-controlled mind that is characterized by “life and peace.” And in Galatians, we see that letting the Spirit take charge of our inner being will build in us the “fruit of the Spirit” (5:22), a beautiful array of qualities such as love, joy, peace, patience, and kindness.

Delighting in Scripture and allowing the Spirit to work in our heart will make us look good on the inside—and will pay off in a life that honors God.

Dear Lord, I pray that through the work of Your
Spirit dwelling within me I will be transformed
into a grand display of the fruit that will attract
others to You and reflect glory back to You.
Righteousness in your heart produces beauty in your character.

Read: Romans 8:1-11

To be spiritually minded is life and peace. —Romans 8:6
Bible in a Year:
Isaiah 37-38; Colossians 3
