I run over fields and woods all day. Under the bed at night I sit not alone. My tongue hangs out, up and to the rear, awaiting to be filled in the morning.

Question: What am I?

(For Answer see Comment Section.)

Song Of The Day - "You're The One" by The Vogues - Monday, 4/4/2011

The Vogues are an American vocal group from Turtle Creek, Pennsylvania, a suburb of Pittsburgh. The original group consisted of Bill Burkette (lead baritone), Don Miller (baritone), Hugh Geyer (first tenor) and Chuck Blasko (second tenor).

Originally, the group was called The Val-Airs. Their high school principal helped them make their first demo. Their first and only record as The Val-Airs was "Launie, My Love". first released by local record label Willett Records (owned by the group's manager, Elmer Willett), then distributed nationally on Coral Records. Soon after the song's release, the group adopted the name The Vogues, derived from Vogue Terrace, a popular teenage dance hall (which also housed Willett Records) in North Versailles, Pennsylvania, near the group's hometown. They soon signed a recording contract with a small Pittsburgh-based label, Co & Ce Records, run by Herb Cohen and Nick Cenci. The group broke nationally in 1965 with a cover of Petula Clark's "You're The One" that rose to No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and was followed the same year by "Five O'Clock World", which also reached No. 4. Two further singles, "Magic Town" and "The Land of Milk and Honey", did not reach the same heights, but still made Billboard's Top 40 in 1966.

The group's fortunes dwindled until a move in 1968 to Reprise Records and a revival on the charts with the million-selling cover of Glen Campbell's "Turn Around, Look at Me", and No. 7 cover of Bobby Helms' "My Special Angel". The group lost favor in the 1970s, but various groupings used the name The Vogues into the 2000s. Subsequent business moves allowed the new owner of their trademark name to later assign it to another group of all-new artists. Original member Chuck Blasko, performing with other singers as Chuck Blasko's Five O'clock World Reunion, subsequently lobbied Congress to make changes in trademark laws to prevent others from misrepresenting themselves as the original Vogues.

As of March 2007, original member Hugh Geyer, who had briefly toured with Blasko's group, was touring the country with another version of The Vogues. Blasko continues to perform as Chuck Blasko & The Vogues in 14 Western Pennsylvania counties that were awarded to him by the courts.

As of May 2008 original lead vocalist Burkette has joined Geyer touring the country with the 'trademark' Vogues. Current members include vocalists Burkette, Geyer, Jim Campagna, Stan Elich, and Troy Elich, Tom Lamb (guitar and musical director), Artie Delonardis (drums), Dean Mastrangelo (keyboards) and Rich Gooch (bass). The Vogues trademark owner, Stan Elich, passed away in December, 2010, and his son, Troy, now owns the trademark. Vocalist Jim Campagna no longer tours because of health issues. Bill Burkette, Hugh Geyer and Troy Elich continue to tour as The Vogues.

The original group was inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 2001.

Here are The Vogues performing their 1965 hit, "You're The One".

Bible Verse Of The Day - Exodus 20:17 - Monday, 4/4/2011

Published by Lois Lame, Assistant Editor

You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his manservant or maidservant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor. – Exodus 20:17

The word covet does not come up in everyday language much. But it certainly is a part of everyday life! The definition for coveting is: to desire wrongfully, inordinately, or without due regard for the rights of others. Behind this is a heart of ingratitude, selfishness and a belief that God has somehow withheld something from us. “I sure wish I had one of those… or, “why isn’t my spouse more like them…or, “why do I have to stay in this job…?”

Wanting what we don’t have displays that we are not satisfied with God’s provision in our life. “I deserve better than this!” And, “I know what I need better than God does.” When we believe that God is infinitely good, and we remember that he alone is sovereign, we can set all coveting aside. Another way of translating this command would be, “Be satisfied with what your generous God has given you!”
