Expression Depression Everything Nothing In this episode of Rhyme and Reason, I talk about nonsensical clichés and perspectives on community. Expression, depression, everything, and nothing won’t be popular with successful entrepreneurs. Because what you say means more than a cliché I know it’s important to say. Expression depression can be a avoided. Words mean things. And ideas have consequences. That’s why I took on … The rest of the story…

Guess what, big shot… You’re not “all that.” If you start thinking more of yourself than you should, you’re attempting to walk on water. And that won’t go well for you. In fact, God in Heaven laughs at you. What?! I know, I know. It doesn’t sound like the God you’ve heard about…right? But the one, true, living, loving God of all creation laughs … The rest of the story…
Sharing a new tune and thankfulness on this episode of Rhyme and Reason I love when I first finish a new tune. There’s something magical and rewarding about being able to listen to a recording of what used to only be in my head. It must be, on a much smaller scale, how God felt, during the six days of creation. You can read, … The rest of the story…
I pray I sing with the understanding What am I talking about? The understanding of what I’m singing about. And making sure my message is understandable. When I sing with the understanding that no one wants to listen to garbled messages in secret tongues, the message has a chance of getting through. Here’s why it matters… People can hear when I sing with the … The rest of the story…
Perks that works and this island is my land That’s an improper use of the word, “works”, just so I could make it rhyme better. So, sue me. And this episode of the The Power of God’s Love Podcast is a bit of a double rant. These are two subjects I shared in previous blog posts. And the subjects have both come up again … The rest of the story…
The Actual Attributes of God If you do an online search for the attributes of God, you’re liable to find what one pastor calls the “omni’s and the im’s”. You’ve probably heard of them…omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent…immutable and impassible. Those are some impressive (pun slightly intended) attributes. But they don’t truly represent the God of the Bible. Wouldn’t you prefer the attributes of God to … The rest of the story…
“From my mother’s womb you have been my God” Several years ago, when I was still the praise and worship music guy for a small Denver area church, our pastor preached a series of sermons from the Psalms. And they connected with me on a deep level. Maybe because King David wrote them, and he was a singer songwriter in addition to being king. … The rest of the story…
Law Breaking and Danger Making Rhyme and Reason #306 I’m talking about law breaking in this episode of Rhyme and Reason. Actually I talk about a law you can’t break. Even if you try real hard. And I’m talking about danger making. Sort of. Actually the danger is already made. But I’m encouraging listeners to avoid the most dangerous mistake of all. You might … The rest of the story…
A story to tell This episode of Rhyme and Reason has a story to tell. Well, actually two stories within a story. They both come from articles I wrote quite a while back. Anyway, it’ll all make sense when you tune in. Or if you prefer to read, keep scrolling down. Down the river there’s a ripple and a wake That doesn’t seem to … The rest of the story…
A little story about lip syncing Quite a few years ago, I was playing music in a local club in the Denver metro area. There was a nice crowd, and for the most part, they seemed to be diggin’ up on what I was layin’ down. (That’s cool musician talk for “they liked it”) But there was this one guy who kept walking up … The rest of the story…
