There’s a candy bar named after it. The center of the candy bar is made up of something called nougat (like newgut…not nugget). But this isn’t about the candy bar. I’m talkin’ about what it’s named after. And, of course, that’s the Milky Way Galaxy. Both the candy bar and the galaxy have a “chocolate” coating. Well, sort of. The candy bar is coated … The rest of the story…

A digital publishing company did a virtual interview with me a few years ago when I started publishing some of my kids books there. And it was sort of a get-to-know you kind of thing. Since you might not know some of these things, and I know your inner curiosity cat wants to find out, here it is. I’ll put the questions in bold … The rest of the story…
I remember, even way back in the 20th century when I was a kid, how pastors could get fire-and-brimstone fired up. And how they’d want some feedback. So, a lot of them would say something with particular emphasis and ask, “Can I get an Amen?” And somebody (or multiple somebodies) would shout, “Amen!” Of course, as a little kid, I just thought those adults … The rest of the story…
Infinitely creative. That’s the way you might imagine somebody who could conjure up designs for the universe and everything in it. And if you found out that the same person could get it all built in only six days, you might start to think, “This is no ordinary person.” And that would be the understatement of all time. Because there’s one who can be … The rest of the story…
Lorelei and the fourth of July Have a safe, fun, and happy Independence Day 2020. Here in America, we’re celebrating 244 years of independence from the tyrannical English government. Just like we do every fourth of July. And even though it’s much more important than just a phrase in a children’s book, that’s what I’d like to share today.

Here’s most of the questions and answers from my podcast interview with Paul: Paul: … The rest of the story…
My songwriter journal Over the years I’ve seen my songwriter journal go from a spiral notebook to what your reading right now. This blog post. I remember carrying my nineteen cent Bic pen around in my teeth like a chewed up cigar. And my trusty notebook in the seat of my car next to me. But now I can just tell Siri to “take … The rest of the story…
“Izzy Carries The Dream” Since I wrote Izzy Carries the Dream, I’ve written and illustrated several other books for kids. And some of them are also based on songs I already wrote. Here’s a tiny excerpt from the book… Izzy didn’t know if he was awake or asleep. But there was something coming straight at him, and it looked like a bright, fiery yellow meteor.

Don’t do these things “Don’t” is a book with a list of things not to do. The funny thing is…you can’t do these things. Even if you wanted to. There’s also a song about it (which you can hear in the The Power of God’s Love Podcast version of this post) and an illustrated downloadable version. “Don’t make mistakes unless you’re wrong.” A few years ago I … The rest of the story…
