Well, I’ve certainly seen a lot of people tossing around a lot of different perspectives on this recent election fiasco. And especially in the presidential election results. If you’re a Trump supporter, you’ve probably been at least a little concerned over the way things have gone. And I saw one person say, “Well, I sure hope for a better day tomorrow.” Some people have … The rest of the story…

I was recently did another podcast interview with a young guy named Pablo Acosta. His fairly new show is called Benchin in the Kitchen. And I confess I don’t know what that means. But I picture resistance training with a set of weights. Of course, I could be way off. But that doesn’t matter. Pablo is a guy with an obvious heart for the … The rest of the story…
Think you’re having a bad day? Or week? Or month? Well, how would you like to set a record while the world is watching? But then you go out a few days later and lose, big time, while the world is still watching. Now, that’s a bad day. Babe Ruth set a record in a baseball game almost a hundred years ago. He … The rest of the story…
Back when I was knee-high to a grasshopper (a term used to describe little kids) I went to Sunday school before the “grownup”church services. And I remember enjoying it. (“Gasp! Did he say he enjoyed it?”) Oh yeah. And not just for the opportunity to show off my verse memorization skills either. Sunday school had some fringe benefits. For anyone who believes Christians … The rest of the story…
Monday Blues anyone I woke up this morning and the weekend was gone. And I thought it was gonna go on and on and on. But my woman done gave me the terrible news. And now I got a case of the Sunday’s gone Monday Blues. (Sing it with me!) [powerpress[ Did you wake up with the Monday Blues today? Of course, I know … The rest of the story…
Sunday morning memories I’ve mentioned, before, how much I loved those bacon, eggs, and toast days at my Grandparents house. Especially before we’d get ready for church. And this was back when families still did most things together. So, my Sunday morning memories include lots of together time. My Sunday morning memories might seem naive to a lot of people. And I take … The rest of the story…
Love and Music Picture this. A middle aged woman grabs her husband’s arm and says, “It must be the dopamine that makes me love this dope of mine.” Because dopamine plays such a huge part in the love and music connection. Right? So it would seem. But love and music don’t connect just because of a hormone. And that hormone didn’t just magically … The rest of the story…
Humble and kind doesn’t equal doormat It’s trendy to be assertive and vulgar. And many so-called “leaders in their field” love to express their inner darkness with tattoos, disheveled hairstyles, and profanity. And I’m sure they think it’s “cool” or “sick” to make a lot of money but look more like a street person. So, they parade, back and forth, on a stage. In … The rest of the story…
Disappointment and expectations It’s weird how often disappointment and expectations are connected to each other. And I’m sure I don’t have to tell you (although I’m about to tell you) that it’s because people tend to base decisions on feelings. And not logic and reason. Now, I can see how tempting it is to go with feelings. Because we should feel. Especially when it … The rest of the story…
Who writes songs for attention? Short answer. Me. But before I go any further let me explain how I don’t mean songs JUST for attention. I’m talking about songs with an ulterior motive. And, in my case, that motive included breaking down a woman’s resistance. No, not the way you’re thinking. Get your mind out of there. I wrote songs for attention because … The rest of the story…
Ah, it’s a brand new day After all my fun talk about how awesome it is to have a balloon sinuplasty surgery, I figured it’s a good time to change the pace. Because it’s a brand new day. And with each new sunrise comes new hope. New horizons. And a fresh new outlook. Right? [powerpress} Every brand new day represents opportunity. Back when I … The rest of the story…
Love and logic – like oil and water? OK, here’s the million dollar question. What’s the number one thing love and logic have in common? (cue the Jeopardy music) No, it’s not that they both start with L. I said “number one thing.” Any other guesses? Alright Timmy, now you’re just being a smart-aleck. It’s not because they both start with LO either. OK, … The rest of the story…
I guess Valentine’s Day (tomorrow, as I write this) has a lot of people asking that age old question: What is love? It’s only natural to ask, I suppose, since it’s not something you can see, smell, hear, taste, or hold in your hand. What do I mean, when I say what is love…not a glove? You can go just about anywhere, including online, … The rest of the story…
Relationships take work – oh no, that four-letter word! On a recent episode of Grant Cardone’s podcast, “The Cardone Zone”, he was talking with his wife, Elena about the holidays. His podcast comes out just about daily, and they share the podcast weekly on what they call “The G&E Show”. Grant asked Elena for her “wish list” for the holidays, and it was easy … The rest of the story…
Some nice people have had nice things to say Remember this old saying? “If you don’t any nice things to say, don’t say anything at all.” Or maybe you’ve heard this version, “If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything.” Either way, you get the point. When someone is telling you that, it’s usually to get you to stop saying what they think … The rest of the story…
Once Upon A Time Have you ever thought about those four words together? Once upon a time. They don’t make any sense under close examination. But they make total sense to kids and people who read and write to kids. Or basically to anyone who’s ever been a kid and heard countless stories begin with once upon a time. But I didn’t actually start … The rest of the story…
Life Love Loss – Sound familiar? Every human being who was ever born, is being born now, or will be born will experience these same three things: Life Love Loss. Obviously if you were born and you’re reading this now, you’ve experienced life. And no matter who might think something to the contrary, you’ve also experienced love…at least once in your life.

Hey Christians…Look up! Our God is THE God. Have you chosen to follow Jesus? If so, have you noticed how America isn’t quite the place it used to be for Christians? Do you see how many more people want to make fun of us and ridicule our faith? And have you picked up on the trend where people thank the universe rather than the … The rest of the story…
