Pray for Guidance If you’ve ever wanted to pray for guidance, but you felt like your prayer just sounded lame, check out Psalm 5 in the Old Testament of the Bible.

And they have that … The rest of the story…

I’ve been marching to a different drum Christmas morning. 1967. And there it was. A large gift-wrapped box with MY name on it. When I picked it up, it felt kinda heavy, and it made an odd sort of rattling sound. But I still wasn’t sure what it could be. So, I tore the wrapping paper off, opened the flaps of the box, and … The rest of the story…
Be angry AND do not sin There’s a lot in this world that makes me mad. Does that happen with you, too? Have you noticed how people who hate God have gotten a lot bolder these days? And it makes me mad that there are so many of them. More and more each day. But I gotta remember the Bible says be angry and … The rest of the story…
This is just for Christian songwriters So, everybody else just go about your business. Nothing to see or hear here. (Are they gone, yet?) OK, I’ve got some encouragement, admonition, and even merch for Christian songwriters. Especially the ones living in America. Since that’s where I live, I’m more connected. But if you live somewhere else in the world, can speak and/or read good … The rest of the story…
Greetings and salutations fellow humans Dear Mom. Or…Hi babe. Just a couple of ways people start letters and emails these days. No composition or journalistic award winners there. But they get the job done, I suppose. And who cares anyway, right? Well, besides me I guess. I’ve been a fan of language and vocabulary from almost the time I could speak. So, I’m partial … The rest of the story…
I’ve been reading, lately, where at least a few Christians are starting to question the merit of contemporary praise and worship music. And before you younger ones try to tell me it’s the old fuddy duddies, this isn’t just coming from older Christians. And I’m glad to see it. Because I’ve listened to just about all the mantra music, in church, I care to. … The rest of the story…
Life Makes No Sense If you’ve listened to my Rhyme and Reason episodes at least once, you’ve heard my tag line. “There IS a rhyme and reason to life because…God made you.” So, you might be wondering why my headline says life makes no sense. Well, it doesn’t. Not without a creator God who loves us. And fortunately we have exactly that kind of … The rest of the story…
What will you be giving for your high standard of living? Our generally high standard of living in America is great. As far as I’m concerned, it’s still the best place on earth to live. We still enjoy more freedom than any other place”in spite of government; not because of. But that’s another subject. And we still have so much to make our lives easier”which could … The rest of the story…
The sacred heart of fools ain’t sacred People in another part of the world (I’m in America) have their sacred cow. And that’s become sort of a metaphor for whatever somebody holds dear. But I don’t wanna use that. Because I’m talking about the sorry state of human beings and the way they talk to and treat each other these days. Individual desires trump … The rest of the story…
Small minds, secret finds Time to open up the blinds Let me start off by telling you I’m an idea guy. And I don’t like to talk much about people and things. I once heard someone say: “Great minds talk about ideas. Mediocre minds talk about things. And small minds talk about people”. I took that to heart. And I hope you will, too. … The rest of the story…
