From the time I became a Christian, when I was 13, I’ve had a vision of salvation as being like crystal. What I mean by that is the clarity…the clear, clean, crystal eternal life promised to me by God. When I was closing in on 20, I even wrote a song about it called “Sparkling Salvation”. I didn’t do a very good job, as … Read the rest…

Crescent Moon is a phase and not the end of days
One of the most beautiful and poetic lights in the sky is the crescent moon. Often written about…used as a logo…a symbol of different meanings to different peoples, it’s technically is just the sliver of light we see on the moon as it goes through a certain monthly phase. So, the crescent moon is just a phase. But don’t try to tell that to … Read the rest…
Sad Regrets
Do you have any sad regrets? If you’ve only lived into your teens so far, of course you’ve had sad regrets…and just about any other kind of regrets there are. Am I right? (imagine that question with a strong Greek accent) 🙂 I’ve been a singer and a musician all my life…at least for the time I can remember. Music has always…ALWAYS…played a vitally … Read the rest…
Forever Gone Lyrics
As I sit here this morning, looking at the yellowing paper in my old spiral notebook, it’s hard to believe it’s been almost 40 years since I wrote these “Forever Gone” lyrics. Yet, there it is in my very own handwritten print and cursive letters: 5/9/74. No biggie…well, sort of a biggie…but having over 40 years of poems, stories, lyrics, and songs is kinda … Read the rest…
I truly hope you’re with me on this…when I talk about the light in our hearts. It’s not my light. It’s not your light. And It’s not his, hers, or theirs. It’s the light of the one true Living God who loves us all so much He made the supreme sacrifice in order to give us eternal life. As Christians in this day and age, we … Read the rest…
Mercy Belle
When I was a young, aspiring writer and poet, I wrote many verses and stories ripe with open, seemingly vague implications, unspoken intimations, and underlying innuendos. I wrote that way to elicit responses and ideas from readers. It worked very well. Each new person who read the words told me what it meant…and each new person’s rendition was always at least a bit different … Read the rest…
I don’t remember exactly the first time I ever wrote a goodnight song… …but it might very well be the one you’ll find the lyrics to below. This isn’t like my other lullaby songs for kids. In fact, this goodnight song wasn’t written for kids. Don’t worry…it’s still rated G. Very often, in my writing life, I’ve been asked, or told, or requested to … Read the rest…
