Beginnings and Endings.. for Now
Thanks everyone for the priveledge to put out a weekly podcast over the past 3 years that you listened to!
Until we meet again, many Blessings
Albert E. Brumley
Some glad morning when this life is over
I'll fly away
To a home on God's celestial shore
I'll fly away
'll fly away, oh, Glory
I'll fly away
When I die, Hallelujah, by and by
I'll fly away
Just a few more weary days and then
I'll fly away
To a land where joy shall never end
I'll fly away
I'll fly away, oh, Glory
I'll fly away
When I die, Hallelujah, by and by
I'll fly away

Winter You're Growing Old
The past few weeks it has continued to be Winter around here in all its glory. Snow, Wind, Cold, Blizzard Warnings and everything else Winter related. And it is April, usually a time of warmer weather, Spring showers and a look forward to Summer.
I couldn't help but get out my guitar and write a song about this Winter. It is definietely not a love song. But it comes from the heart.
Winter You're Growing Old
words by Susan Engström McAuliffe
(sung to the tune of Sounds of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel)
Hello Winter you were my friend
But I’m tired of seeing you again
You never seem to want to disappear
Even though Spring is oh so near
You stay and keep on snowing
And being cold
Winter you’re growing old
Down the driveway I try to go
But there’s too much ice, there so much snow
I slip and slide and finally hit the ground
Buried in snow with drifts all around
And I pray someone will find me
Before I freeze
My toes and knees
And in the early morning day
I hear the weatherman say
Another storm out West is coming here
So don’t you put away your snow gear
Because once again you’ll need it
To fight the snow
Winter you’re growing old
I’m such a fool thinking Spring
When there’s still snow on everything
It seems we never ever see the sun
Will the warmth of Spring ever come
Or is this what climate change is
A big white abyss
Winter you’re growing old
Someday soon it will be Spring
We will sweat and forget everything
It will seem like Winter was never here
With mosquitoes buzzing in our ear
And we will long for a cooler days
Looking through the haze
Of a never ending Summer

Great show
A show with lots of local flavor!
Amazing Storytelling
This is such a wholesome podcast. I love the quality of storytelling and unique innuendos. It gives you an insight on family life at Solid Rock Minnesota. I feel like I’m listening to an audiobook. It was so relaxing. Great job!

Storytelling At Its Best
This is an excellent podcast that reminds me of telling family stories around a campfire. I laughed and felt the pain of nostalgia as many of these stories left me longing for more time together with friends and family who are no longer with me. Well done and very heartwarming.
