You can’t keep it all to yourself. In fact, if you think you can, it’s probably not in you anyway. Nope. If you want it to flourish, you’ve gotta give love away. I read this great quote from C.S. Lewis. He talked about how you’ve gotta be willing to be vulnerable if you’re gonna love. He said, “To love at all is to be … The rest of the story…

There are lots of gods in this world. There’s the one who currently rules our planet (hint: it’s not Jesus). And then there are all the even smaller ones that most of the world worship. One day they’ll all be swept away by the one Who remains. The One and only One. Have you noticed how America isn’t quite the place it used to … The rest of the story…
There’s nothing like roses to remember what’s important. And what’s important? Truly important. Everlastingly important. I’ll give you a hint in this link. It’s the last word in the sentence. I’ve mentioned, before, how I was a singer songwriter in Nashville back in 1992-93. I spent a lot of nights on stages around the city in what they called “songwriters in the round.” And … The rest of the story…
I read about a guy, named Andreas Cornelius van Kujik, who promoted the occasional medicine show, or carnival, or other cheap entertainment. One of those interesting shows was called “The Great Parker Pony Circus.” And another was called “Tom Parker and His Dancing Turkeys.” Now, that’s not just a medicine show, folks. That’s entertainment! Andreas Cornelius van Kujik was a Dutch immigrant. And if … The rest of the story…
Who writes songs for attention? Short answer. Me. But before I go any further let me explain how I don’t mean songs JUST for attention. I’m talking about songs with an ulterior motive. And, in my case, that motive included breaking down a woman’s resistance. No, not the way you’re thinking. Get your mind out of there. I wrote songs for attention because … The rest of the story…
Happy Valentines Day Does your love look this way? My wife and I don’t actually “celebrate” Valentines Day. Not because we’re opposed to it. And not because it goes against anything we stand for. It’s because a much more important day for celebrating, for us, comes two days later. That being said, I’ll still wish all you romantical knuckleheads a Happy Valentines Day. But … The rest of the story…
I guess Valentine’s Day (tomorrow, as I write this) has a lot of people asking that age old question: What is love? It’s only natural to ask, I suppose, since it’s not something you can see, smell, hear, taste, or hold in your hand. What do I mean, when I say what is love…not a glove? You can go just about anywhere, including online, … The rest of the story…
Don’t trust your heart Let me be clear. I’m not talking about that dark red muscle, in your chest, pumping blood all day and night. When I say don’t trust your heart, I’m talking about your very core. The inner YOU that only God knows. He says “The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it?” Does that sound like something you … The rest of the story…
There is no greater love than this…. …that a man be willing to lay down his life for his friends. Do you have a love like that living in your heart? It doesn’t mean that you have to be killed in order to prove you love your friends. It means you’d be willing to do that if things ever got to that point. I pray … The rest of the story…
