Since it’s now illegal to prevent crime in a lot of places in the USA, I’m guessing that must be true in even more progressive places. Like say, Europe. Or Australia. Or South America. So, I’m conjuring up a way to visit those places to vote in their elections. Not because I care who wins or loses. No. Just because it would be kinda … The rest of the story…

Some people, even some Christians, say that what’s going on, in the Southeast, is God getting our attention. Or maybe that He’s sending down some wrath on haters. Have you heard anything like that? I even watched a young woman, in a video, say she was glad that area was hit so hard by Hurricane Helene. Well, it’s total nonsense. And that kind of … The rest of the story…
Here’s a quick reminder. Back in 2009 I was in the middle of my three years as a music leader for a small Denver area church. The pastor did an excellent job of equipping the saints. And it was a church with a strong, abolitionist, pro life foundation. So, a definite win-win place to worship God. Plus, they led the charge to establish the … The rest of the story…
Before I share the key to success, let me assure you that my guess is you already know this. And I think it would be a good idea to define success. Don’t you? After all, if it’s only a vague concept, how will you ever know if you’ve reached it? Plus, if you never know if and when you’re successful, your life will feel … The rest of the story…
Allegory. Metaphor. Simile. I enjoyed learning about those words, and what they meant, in high school English composition class. And I love to find ways to use each one. It was mostly allegory that helped me tell the following story in a story. With a little more from Mr. Metaphor. I wrote this after reading an article about an ill-fated trip down the Colorado … The rest of the story…
The Hollies sang about the symbiotic relationship between humans and plants. What? You didn’t know that? Well, then you obviously never heard them sing, “All I need is the air that I breathe” in one of their hit songs. Sorry you missed it. Nice song with great harmonies. “What’s that? You don’t understand how that’s symbiotic?” OK, here’s the bare bones explanation of the … The rest of the story…
I’m a big fan of a popular singer named Nilsson. Well, he’s a former popular singer because he’s no longer with us here on terra firma. Anyway. Nilsson (aka: Harry Nilsson) understood that independence is an illusion. And he sang about that in one of my favorite songs of his. It was called “Without You.” And the main line said, “Can’t live, if living … The rest of the story…
It was once a larger than life, imaginary-like concept. But now it’s a reality. No, I’m not talking about cheese crust pizza! C’mon, get your head in the game. This is WAY more fun than pizza. OK, so maybe that’s going a little too far. But check it out. The larger than life thing I’m talking about is robotic surgery. I know you’ve heard … The rest of the story…
Twenty-six years ago I remember hearing somebody say how corrupt our government has become. And they said it felt like people who want to stand up for truth, justice, and the American way (to quote from the old Superman TV show) just face impossible odds. Of course, it can feel like that. These days it can feel like that way more than back then. … The rest of the story…
I bet you can think of more than one example of when somebody used roses in a song. Right? Yeah. There are plenty of songs where roses play a big part. Because there’s just something about that one flower. And it would probably be just as unique even if it had another name. So, obviously, when I put roses in a song I wrote, … The rest of the story…
