19000 days. Yes, that’s nineteen thousand days. And that’s a lotta days. But I didn’t just pick a number off the top of my head. No, it’s the approximate number of days I’ve written poetry. Some might say that’s a huge waste of a large number of days. To those I say, “Ouch. You hurt both my feelings.” So, the number of days also … The rest of the story…

The number 8 is said to represent new beginnings. And I could share some interesting Bible stuff to emphasize how that could be true. But YOU might be somebody who isn’t impressed with “Bible stuff,” even when there’s some mighty impressive “coincidences” scattered all through the book. The number 8 DOES represent new beginnings, though. Even to you. For example, every week has 7 … The rest of the story…
Some are more important than others. And some have little to no consequences. But some can make you stop in your tracks. Because you realize the choice you make today could change your whole life. And there’s no choice that proves that true more than the one called “pro choice.” Ironically, virtually every “pro choice” ends in a huge con lie. Because there’s an … The rest of the story…
A social media friend of mine shares some amazing photography. The colors are often so brilliant and high resolution they almost jump off the screen and directly into my brain. Lately (for obvious reasons) many of the pics are focused on Autumn. One of them, that popped up only yesterday, was titled Nestled in Nature. And I’m a huge fan of alliteration. So, I … The rest of the story…
“There is nothing wrong with your television set. You are about to participate in a great adventure. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the inner mind to, The Outer Limits.” That was part of the opening to the old TV show from back in the 60’s. Boomers remember The Outer Limits. Everybody else probably feels like they live … The rest of the story…
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 got sidetracked and forgot. The name of this holiday is based on an idiom that’s been around since the mid-15th century. “No rhyme nor … The rest of the story…
About 5 years ago I had an idea for an abounding grace song. So, I did what I always do. I wrote the lyrics. But there was still something missing. In fact a couple of things still missing. Seems like an abounding grace song would need music. Right? Yeah, that’s usually how it works. Words and music make a song. But I didn’t put … The rest of the story…
“You’ve got a mighty bright eternal future here, son.” “Ah, thanks Father. I can’t tell you what that means to me.” No, those aren’t lines from an old black and white movie. Although they could be. And too bad they don’t make movies with relationship-building lines like that anymore. But anyway…let’s get back to that eternal future thing. Isn’t it great to know you’ve … The rest of the story…
There’s no doubt about it. Haters gonna hate. But what there IS some doubt about is…who are the haters? Ironically (and woefully), it’s almost always the people who are yelling the loudest about who hates who. And here’s where the haters gonna hate me. Because I’m about to call a spade a spade. Have you ever dealt with the frustration that comes with talking … The rest of the story…
I know this may tarnish my image as a world-class cool singer songwriter forever, but I’ll say it anyway… I’m not cool at all. Because I’ve never done “recreational” drugs. Not even pot. See? Not cool at all. Right? Yeah, I can practically hear my subscribers scrambling to find another much cooler singer songwriter to follow. So long everyone. All I ask is that … The rest of the story…
