  • The Irish Way
    As a bagpiper, I play many gigs. Recently I was asked by a funeral director to play at a graveside service for a homeless man. He had no family or friends, so the service was to be at a pauper’s cemetery in the backcountry. As I was not familiar with the backwoods, I got lost and, being a typical man, I didn’t stop for directions.

    I finally arrived an hour late and saw the funeral guy had evidently gone and the hearse was nowhere in sight. There were only the diggers and crew left and they were eating lunch.

    I felt badly and apologized to the men for being late. I went to the side of the grave and looked down and the vault lid was already in place. I didn’t know what else to do, so I started to play.

    The workers put down their lunches and began to gather around. I played out my heart and soul for this man with no family and friends. I played like I’ve never played before for this homeless man.

    And as I played ‘Amazing Grace,’ the workers began to weep. They wept, I wept, we all wept together. When I finished I packed up my bagpipes and started for my car. Though my head hung low, my heart was full.

    As I opened the door to my car, I heard one of the workers say, “I never seen nothin’ like that before and I’ve been putting in septic tanks for twenty years.”
    Apparently, I’m still lost… It’s a man thing.

    Thank you Sheri, for emailing this to us and thank you to our friends across the pond: The Irish Way!

  • Here are 13 Health Benefits of Ginger.
    I just bought 2 pounds of it ready made on Amazon and this stuff is amazing. It is actually supposed to help regulate blood glucose levels in diabetes, regardless of its' sugar content. I MIGHT need to try making it myself, but I have a lack of counter space to do it with.
