Choose Life

Tony Funderburk Posted on March 26, 2013 by TonyApril 7, 2023
Writer, singer, and illustrator Tony Funderburk urges you to Choose Life

I had an account that asked me for a quote, and I used “therefore, choose life”. Any ideas where it came from?

This coming Sunday is known all around the world as “Easter Sunday” or “Resurrection Sunday”. And I can’t think of anything more pro life or life-affirming than to know there’s a living, loving God who cared so much for us that He made a way for us to LIVE forever in paradise with Him.

C’mon…live forever?! Now that’s something I want. And I’d love for every person, regardless of race, creed, color, religion, or size to get in on that action. Unfortunately, that’s not gonna happen. Because millions and millions and millions of people don’t choose life. They choose to be their own king…or queen. And they bet their eternal existence on how they feel about it.

And worse than that, too many people don’t even choose life for the smallest, most helpless and innocent people of all…the unborn people. The little babies who never got the chance to choose life…or anything else for that matter.

I just finished a song called “Choose Life.”

And depending on how you look at it (or listen to it) it’s either my latest “pro life” song…or an appropriate Easter Sunday song…or simply an upbeat life-affirming song. I purposely made the lyrics a little harder to discern. I’d love for you to sign up to my email newsletter and get a free copy of the song.

Sign up, tune in, and let me know what you think about the song. If you like it, tell me…and even more importantly tell your friends and family. Let them know they can sign up and get it too. There’s no obligation beyond that, and you can unsubscribe at any time.

OK…here are the words to “Choose Life”…

Choose Life: a new song by writer, singer, illustrator Tony Funderburk...for Easter 2013.

Stay tuned,

Cloud designs and rhyming lines

Recently I saw some cloud designs as I was driving home. And I saw something (besides the headlights that look like wolf eyes) that prompted me to take a picture.

Can you see what it is?

As I first noticed the cloud designs I was driving parallel

And there was nowhere to stop. I thought it was really cool how the image wasn’t blowing away or apart. I knew I wanted to get a picture so I could share it, but I figured it just wasn’t in the cards.

Finally…I came to a sharp curve in the road, and my direction changed to face the cloud designs, the foothills, and the traffic coming down out of the mountains. And, by chance, a small gravel shoulder to the road came up just in time before the image (and the photographic opportunity) dropped below the horizon.

I pulled over, popped out my trusty iPhone, snapped the shot, and drove home.

Today, I plugged my iPhone into my MacBook, as I always do when I’m working, and the iPhoto app popped up…as it always does when I plug the phone in. The app showed me the photos I hadn’t uploaded to the computer, and there was the picture.

Have you guessed what I saw yet?

I knew I wanted to draw the picture so I could show others what I saw. And before I could get started on the drawing, a poem seemed to nudge me to be written. So, I relented to “the muse” and wrote the poem. Then I drew the picture. Here are the words and picture to…

Late July morning sky…

a Colorado treat…

orange & red above my head…

like wings unto my feet.

T.F. circa 2012

Late July morning sky by singer songwriter, ebook writer, writer for hire (and photographer) Tony Funderburk

Yes, it’s late July in 2012 as I write this, and it was a golden morning. So, I wanted to share some of the gold with you to shine the light of day into your life. I hope you woke up to something like it. If not, I guess it’s gonna be on your shoulders to be the sunshine yourself.

I don’t really have anything else to share today, but I couldn’t let the morning slip by without sharing a rhyme and a smile.

Stay tuned,

Tony
