If you’re a business owner, you understand how great it is to get your dream started. And you know what it feels like to work hard, build your dream, and turn on the lights for the first time. You don’t have to be a business owner to know what I’m talking about. There are other experiences like that. There’s the thrill you feel the … The rest of the story…

Imagine seeing an angel with six wings. And, as you look closely, you see the angel uses two of them to cover his face, two of them to cover his feet, and two of them to fly. Pretty cool. And that’s a regular angel. What about archangel wings? Those must be even way cooler. Because there are only three archangels. So, archangel wings must … The rest of the story…
Time marches on. And Worm Moon 2023 is a deLIGHTful example of it. Yeah, you read that right. Worm Moon 2023 is a real thing. And it’s gonna happen starting tomorrow, as I write this. It’s the last full moon of the winter season. Or the first full moon of the spring season. Depends on whether you look at the timing from a meteorological … The rest of the story…
Even people who say they’re all about love and acceptance hate me. They’d never admit it. But they do. A few years ago I shared an article and a song about the sanctity of life. And I mentioned that many people SAY they celebrate tolerance and diversity. But they don’t include Christians in their diversity tolerance circle. Sadly, this same behavior is still going … The rest of the story…
It’s in the news. On the radio and TV. And it’s in the books and magazines. People (and I use that term loosely) increasingly hate God. And they increasingly hate anyone who loves God. So, they paint on their hate-filled colors. And they hang out their silly pronouns. And they scoop what’s left of their brain and dish it out as though they actually … The rest of the story…
Elgielene will back me up on this (and she’ll probably add how annoying it can be). But there are almost always notes and beats going on in my brain. And the annoying part (for others who can’t hear them) is how they manifest through my finger tips. Yeah, I tap out the notes and beats with my fingers. Virtually ALL the time. Well, during … The rest of the story…
You can learn to fly. And it won’t cost you lots of money for oodles of hours of training. AND you’ll be able to fly up to the sky much faster than technology can take your text across the globe. What do you say? Interested? All you gotta do, to be able to fly up to the sky like that, is learn from your … The rest of the story…
I’ve written thousands and thousands of rhymes, stories, books, and songs. But there’s only one of my many creative works that’s truly gonna last. And that’s the engraved art in my heart. And even though it’s there because I chose to have it there, I’m not the artist. Engraved art is more IN than ON. And that’s what makes it such a great analogy … The rest of the story…
Here’s a little music tidbit I didn’t know. The first musical performance on Saturday Night Live was Billy Preston singin’ his hit song, Nothin From Nothin. And that didn’t just pop up, randomly in my poetmagination brain. Because I wanted to share some of the lyrics from that song. And I remembered it came out in the 70’s. But I looked it up to … The rest of the story…
I know you’ve heard this. Because, if you haven’t, where have you been hiding? People say you should judge no book by its cover. And that’s especially when they don’t want you to judge someone for the way they look. Or their “lifestyle choice.” But “judge no book” isn’t about “a look” or “lifestyle choice.” Well, sometimes it is. But, for the sake of … The rest of the story…
