Giles Corey



During the Salem Witch Trials, Giles Corey, along with his wife, were falsely accused of witchcraft and sentenced to death by pressing, the barbaric execution practice in which they put large boulders on your body. When pushed to confess, he refused because he was innocent. His final words were "more weight."

He was absolved in 1712, 20 years after his public execution for something he didn't do.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN SEASON!

Happy birthday, Dad...


Happy birthday, Dad. I wrote this song for you. You are missed.


A Life Well Lived

In times of darkness, there’s always room for light
In times of struggle, we rise to face the plight
Love’s there to guide us, the only thing that counts
Love is the brightness, when shadows seem to mount

We all take comfort in how we are loved
Give it all back without hesitation
Cause in the end, we all can only hope
Someone will hold our hand, as we leave this earth

Know that your time here is, in fact, finite
Take joy, and look back, appreciate the sight
Of a life well lived, eventually we die
I know you did your best, I know how hard you tried…
This isn’t goodbye, this isn’t so long
We all live on when we love with all of our heart…

Thank you…
Thank you…
