Today at Michael Jackson's memorial service, Lionel Ritchie sang a wonderful Commodore's classic from 1978, "Jesus is Love.' While the Commodores were more known for such R&B classics as "Brick House," and "Easy", this particular song has always been one of my favorites. Today, Lionel Ritchie once again proved to me why.
Once Upon a Time in the Seventies

Once upon a time in the Seventies, there was a popular singing group. A group of brothers. Bringing song to the world. Times were different then. We weren't consumed with the scandal. We didn't care to dig for what was not there. We just enjoyed the music. These brothers, man, they could sing. They burst onto the scene in the late Sixties. They had us "finger snapping" and "toe tapping". They were the Jackson Five. And they were led by their little brother, Michael.

Regardless of how well you do and the benefit that it will have for either you or others, there will be those that are standing ready to criticize.

Good Rules to Live By

I was a Boy Scout. It was a long time ago, but I was a scout in the sixties and the early seventies. I got out of it because my interests began to change, and so my progress stalled on my way to Eagle - the highest rank a scout could achieve. I got bogged down with other things and failed to reach my goal. So I fell short of Eagle ending up at the rank just below - Life. But some of the things that I did get out of scouting have lasted my entire life. I can still tie some crazy knots, pick out and identify a few trees, bugs and rocks, and pitch a tent like no-body's business. But the two things that are still clear in my mind are the Scout Oath and the Boy Scout Law. And those two I have failed to practice consistently on a daily basis. And they are actually good guides for ANYONE to live by.
