I’m happy to celebrate when a church moves in the direction of rightly dividing the word of truth. But you almost never see that anymore. In fact, most establishments calling themselves churches move in the opposite direction. Sometimes the move … Continued here
Music is an aural expression of life. From babies in the womb to the silver-haired citizens, music is an amazingly comforting language. I’ve shared a lot of information about the health benefits of music and sound. But it doesn’t benefit … Continued here
I am NOT a liberal. Although I AM liberal. And that might seem confusing at first glance. But it makes total sense AND it’s the sensible way to be. But only when you understand the difference between the word, liberal, … Continued here

You’ll no doubt see a lot of September 11 news today. For one thing, it’s September 11 (as I write this), so it’s only natural. But also, it’s an historic day for America. And I’m sure I don’t have to … Continued here
Depending on where you are, it could be the start of another day. Or the finish. But I wonder if you’ll take the time (or if you took the time) to look out your window and remember to be grateful … Continued here
I love life filled with optimism. In fact, I find it difficult to write songs or rhymes without optimism. And in this day and age that’s almost weird. Right? But I believe I’ve got a lot of things to be optimistic … Continued here
Here it is Labor Day 2022. And you’d probably rather go get another beer and brât than hear me ramble on about a holiday or labor or whatever. So, I’ll just share something another famous singer songwriter said about musicians … Continued here
I’ve shared stories with friends (and strangers), about my Dad, and some of those people thought they were shocking. Because I talked about how much I loved him. And how many cool things he did with my brother and me … Continued here
I scheduled myself to share this with you yesterday. Because the so-called “holiday” is supposed to be September 1. And obviously today is September 2. Well, it’s obvious to me. You might be reading this on another day. Anyway, I … Continued here

When you get right down to it, it’s pretty easy to brew up a good batch of anger issues. Right? Yeah, pretty much anyone can do it. With one arm tied behind ’em. And since that’s true, think about honeybees. “Huh? … Continued here
Have you noticed how most politicians, billionaires, and millionaires love clout? Yeah, they love to wield influence and power even when they don’t have the wisdom to do so. But time is running out for anyone who expects influence and … Continued here
