Perilous times will come A guy, named Paul, wrote a letter, almost 2000 years ago, to another guy, named Timothy. And in one of the lines he said, “But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come:” And then he went on to describe how it will be. And just in case you’ve never read his description…well…it doesn’t look good. Calling … The rest of the story…
Once there was a Satellite song… I’m a bit vague on what the news story was. After all, it was 30 years ago. But I remember something in the news on TV about something in space. And I had been working on a song that needed a three syllable word for my main focus. (It’s a weird thing that goes on in my head … The rest of the story…
Mi Amiga – a song about a very special friend If you’ve been following along on your game boards at home, you might have noticed I’ve shared some song stories. And here’s another one. It’s about a song I wrote over 30 years ago. Mi Amiga. The Spanish translation of that is “my friend.” But it’s not any old friend. It’s a female friend. … The rest of the story…
Wielding my poetic power again The underlying theme to everything I do, here in the TonyFunderburk.com galaxy, is Rhyme and Reason. To put it simply, I like to use my poetic power to share logic and reason. For life. Love. And for a solid, eternal perspective. With poetic power comes powerful responsibility. I’m not an infallible person. And I don’t play one on TV. … The rest of the story…
What’s the “it” in “Keep It On Hold” I’m not really a “country” singer/songwriter. But back in 1992-93, I played one on TV. Well, not TV. But I sort of played one on stages. In Nashville. For what they called “songwriters in the round.” That’s where a group of songwriters take the stage and each one plays an original song. When each one completes … The rest of the story…
Life in this topsy turvy world I wish the good people I know had all the great successes in life. And I wish the people who thumb their noses at God were the most miserable failures in the world. Yeah, I said it. (And on the The Power of God’s Love Podcast I’ll say it out loud) But since I don’t get to rule … The rest of the story…
Don’t do these things “Don’t” is a book with a list of things not to do. The funny thing is…you can’t do these things. Even if you wanted to. There’s also a song about it (which you can hear in the The Power of God’s Love Podcast version of this post) and an illustrated downloadable version. “Don’t make mistakes unless you’re wrong.” A few years ago I … The rest of the story…
You came from the heart of God I’m sure there are a lot of people who couldn’t care less about the heart of God. After all, they don’t even believe He exists. Much less has a heart. And on a physical level, that’s sorta true. Because God is Spirit. So, He doesn’t have a physical heart. Wait…unless you count Jesus, too. I think, sometimes, … The rest of the story…
Put on Your Music Pajamas There once was a little kid named Meep who didn’t like to sleep. He thought the whole world would disappear while his eyes were closed. Could a simple, silly pair of music pajamas change Meep’s mind about what happened when he closed his eyes? Music pajamas are just a continuation of infatuation. When I was a kid, I had a vivid imagination. … The rest of the story…
All across the universe The Beatles created a lot of enjoyable music. And a bunch of nonsense, too. I only bring it up because (randomly…or was it?) one of their songs came across my computer desktop today. “Across the Universe” from their “Let It Be” album. So, I read the lyrics and a little background about them. John Lennon wrote the words. And, as … The rest of the story…
