A little over 6 months ago we relocated to a wonderful small town nestled in wooded hills.  4 years ago this past November was the last time I played in a worship team.  2 years ago this past September I had brain surgery to remove a tumor that had paralyzed much of my right side.  Today I’m praising GOD I am actively playing again! more »

I don’t know how I missed this 1995 murder mystery for so many years.  Based on a true story about what is probably the worst serial killer every known in recorded history.  It took place in the Soviet Union where such things were hidden as an embarrassment to the state.  It features a superb cast and stellar acting.  It’s a great movie if you get a chance to see it.  (IMDB)
