SEE YOU IN NOVEMBER
I reached a personal milestone yesterday. Alas, there were no fireworks and no parades.
Randall "Randy" Tremba was born and raised in Youngstown, Ohio. He took a bachelor of arts in philosophy at Wheaton College, Illinois (1969), a master’s of divinity at Fuller Theological Seminary, Pasadena,California (1973), and a doctor of ministry at Princeton Seminary (1992). He was installed as minister of the Shepherdstown (WV) Presbyterian Church in July 1976. Forty-one years later he retired. In between, he married Paula, became a parent (Jonah, Nathanael, Amanda) and a grandfather, founded the Rumsey Radio Hour (1990), and co-founded the Shepherdstown Good News Paper with Ed Zahniser (May 1979).

Soccer is a beautiful game, my sons told me years ago. I couldn’t see what they saw, but I’m beginning to.
I’m a soccer fan but not a fanatic. Alas, the game releases the inner barbarian.
Today is my birthday. I was born in 1947. Let’s hear if for the boomers!
I’m sick and tired of seeing 250 this, 250 that. And that’s not the worst of it.
Today let us pause to remember the lessons of our fathers.
Getting old has its benefits. (Oh yeah?! Name one!!)
My commencement address was delivered at a first-of-its-kind graduation ceremony. I asked around, but could find no evidence of any graduation like it.
My first and likely my last.
My friend came to see that the pursuit of happiness is the wrong pursuit.
Thanks to Old Scratch I’ll be posting a reflection on something I find remarkable in and around our world most every Sunday morning.
