A man named Solomon once said there’s nothing new under the sun. When you read his story, you’ll see he was someone with authority on the subject. But I say there’s not nothing new under the sun. Even though I’m not a king, and I don’t play one on YouTube, I have more authority on the subject than King Solomon … The rest of the story…

Alright. I know you love me. And I know it’s not because I’m just a poet with soul. Even though I write to delight and ignite. But here’s the thing. You don’t love me the way God does. Now I don’t think, for even a nanosecond, that knowing that truth makes me appreciate your love, even one millimeter less. It’s … The rest of the story…
You do go through fire in this life. No matter who you are. No matter how much or how little money you have. And no matter how many connections in high places you have. Nobody gets out of it. The important thing is, where do you end up after the fire? And you WILL end up somewhere after the fire … The rest of the story…
OK, I’m gonna get a little too sciencey for the kids right now. And I’m share some info I found about the backbone of DNA. And I think it’s interesting because we all have DNA. So, it’s kinda cool to know a little bit about it. Here’s what one article said: “A phosphate backbone is the portion of the DNA … The rest of the story…
You can go your own way. And you can call it another lonely day. You can go your own way.

I recently read an article/blurb about how a lot of the lyrics and songs off their bestselling album, … The rest of the story…
You’ve probably experienced faith and doubt at the same time. It’s OK to admit it because it’s part of your human flaws. I know. How dare I say you have flaws, right? Easy. Because everybody does.

You’ve heard this before. Never bring a knife to a gun fight. And, even if you’re a recovering public school graduate, that should make sense to you right away. But here’s something that might not make so much sense, at first glance. Never bring a gun to a sword fight. Or, I should say, don’t bring a gun and fight … The rest of the story…
The first century Christians were committed to one another. Christians today? Not so much. Sure, there are small cliques. But, as a whole, it’s a divided faith. And splintered, sometimes, by just the meaning of a single verse. Or even a single word. Want an example? OK. Christians today split up over the word, tithe. I just scanned an article … The rest of the story…
I think there’s a good chance that I have a tendency to pray for me more than I pray for you. I know, I know. It’s totally selfish. And I don’t feel good about it.

But time is running out for anyone who expects influence and power to last forever. Here’s a list of those people I shared eight years ago. And this is eight years … The rest of the story…
Anger management. Ironically, most of the people who think other people are the people who need anger management seem to be so angry about it. And that makes me so angry. Not really.

In 1977 I bought a cassette and an album of the same music from the same musician. It was the “Celebrate Me Home” collection by Kenny Loggins. It was (and is) an exceptional project. And it helped springboard me even closer to making melodies and singing for a living. If you’ve never listened to that album, do yourself a favor … The rest of the story…
Ever notice how easy it is to fool kids? Yeah, as far as they’re concerned, you truly CAN grab a coin from behind their ears. Because their little minds haven’t matured enough to figure things out. So, even Uncle Bill is a skilled magician to them. But the trickery of men and women is a whole different bag of tricks. … The rest of the story…
Whether you’re happy or not, have you spent any time, lately, making melody in your heart? And have you sung with grace in your heart? Not just to hear your voice. But because you love your Creator.

Do you speak Psalms? And how fluent is your Hymns? Or what about Spiritualese? What’s that you say? You don’t speak any of those languages? And you don’t even believe they ARE languages. Well, I guess, technically, they aren’t languages. But you could speak to me in any one of them if you’d start with a melody in your heart. … The rest of the story…
Just think if you lived back in the days of gladiators. And imagine if you had to go out and fight for your king with an invisible suit of armor. Sure, it would be much lighter. So, it would be so much easier to stand up than if you wore that heavy metal armor they had back then. But do … The rest of the story…
I’ve got a melody in my heart Back in 1977, on one of my trips to the music store (because digital downloads weren’t invented yet) I picked up the brand new cassette from Kenny Loggins. It was his official first solo album called “Celebrate Me Home.” And if you’ve never listened to that collection, do yourself a favor. Great tunes. … The rest of the story…
Get your free money fast And get it “while the gittin’s good.” Because if you’ve got any sense left in your brain, heart, and soul, you know it can’t last. Right? Or can it?

How to deal with anger management issues Have you noticed how almost everywhere you look or go so many people seem to be mad about something? My wife and I have talked about it recently.
