The Bible says a “laborer is worthy of his wages.” But what about when the worker is doing work you believe is easy? You know, the kind of work you think isn’t done by the sweat of the brow? In other words, does that worthy laborer principle apply to musicians? Here’s something I watched Sting say about it a few years ago. Of course, … The rest of the story…

In 2014 I wrote sort of a “year end review.” And I found it this morning, as I was looking for something else from that year. One thing I noticed, when I re-read it, was how the headlines of today sound similar to those from seven years ago. But the headlines of today are even more depressing than 2014. Back then I talked about … The rest of the story…
You’ve heard this before. Time waits for no one. The Rolling Stones even had a song with that title. So, that proves it’s got to be true. Right? Time waits for no one and it doesn’t teach many either. Days advance like an inspired army. Right into the open arms of each passing year. There’s nothing you can do about it. You can’t turn … The rest of the story…
About this time of year, back in 2013, I wrote my replies to some discussion about a cake shop in Lakewood, Colorado. Maybe you heard of Masterpiece Cakes? And its owner, Jack Phillips? He’s the guy who, according to his Christian faith, chose to refuse service to a so-called “gay couple.” And by “refuse service,” I mean he didn’t wanna bake their “wedding cake.” … The rest of the story…
If you’re a Christian, conservative type of person, you might be feeling enemies at the gate right about now. And if you’re not, it’s either because you keep your light under a basket, or they just haven’t gotten to you, yet. But fair warning. There WILL be enemies at the gate. Once you live beyond your childhood you acquire enemies. That’s a sad and … The rest of the story…
Have yourself a mighty safe and Happy Thanksgiving 2021. Here’s a list of what I was thankful for a few years back. And it still applies for Thanksgiving 2021 I’m thankful… That God saw fit to give me life and to make a way for me to have it forever. For a wife who loves me and encourages my artistic endeavors. For our health…it’s not … The rest of the story…
In case you haven’t noticed, there’s an mRNA controversy going on in the world. Foreign DNA and RNA gets into your cells all the time. That’s exactly how viral infections work. But your body almost always fights them off. And since you’re actually bombarded with viruses literally every day, it should be clear that your body is designed to handle them. Very well. And … The rest of the story…
I’ve been lamenting the pandemic for a long time. And I’ve seen how fast it’s expanded. But I’ve been curious as to why more people don’t realize how closely they’re involved in it. I hope not you. Because the pandemic I’m talking about isn’t the pandemic you might think I’m talking about. Although they’re morbidly connected in the past couple of years. And, by … The rest of the story…
Over the course of my life, I’ve been inspired to write songs by a wide variety of stimuli. From a technicolor sunset, to a mountain vista, and even down to a single word. And sometimes I’m inspired by how someone will twist a phrase and use it as a product or service or even a business name. Like how I was inspired to write … The rest of the story…
I read an article that talked about how Franklin Graham couldn’t understand why Joe Biden said what he said. Actually, that Joe didn’t say something he should’ve said. Apparently Mr. Biden left God’s name out of a so-called “proclamation” on America’s national day of Prayer. And Mr. Graham said, “This is a National Day of Prayer. Of course we need to call on God … The rest of the story…
