Friday Thoughts


A couple of weeks ago I was headed to Tulsa to see my dad. It had been raining all night and most of the day. As I left Springdale, Arkansas on Highway 412, the rain had stopped. By the time I got on the toll road west of Siloam Springs, the clouds were breaking up and a sunset was in progress. Here are a few photos taken between Siloam Springs and Chouteau, OK.



Okay, enough with the drive-by photography. It's time for this week's installment of an inspirational song. One group that I saw for the first time was the Collingsworth Family. While the entire family is talented and sing great harmony, it is the mother, Kim that is an incredible pianist. Here is a sample of her work. Enjoy. If you really want to hear something special, go to YouTube, type Collingsworth Family and select How Great Thou Art. The embedding tag has been removed or I would have shown it to you here. It is something special. Have a great week-end everyone.

  1. Great sky, but the music this week is the absolute best. I love it. Reminds me of my childhood. Well, it didn't sound this good, but you know what I mean. This is top notch.

    Have a terrific day. Big hug. :)

  5. The skies are stunning in the yellow to gray hues. With skies like this, how could you pay attention to the road?

  7. Lovely varied skies! My favorite is the sunrays in the fourth image.
    The music was awesome. When I was growing up the only music we had in church was the piano. This lady as they say can really 'tickle the ivories.'
    Thanks for sharing your lovely skies and the awesome music. I'm going to bookmark her on my YouTube list.
