With my simple words I say I’m thankful for another day I hope you woke up this morning thankful for another day. I did. And no matter what your circumstances are, you have many reasons to be thankful. Not the least of which is another day of life. Another day to recognize (or discover) how much your Creator loves you. And guess what? You … The rest of the story…
Jesus is the one way I see social media posts and internet articles talking about the forgiving nature of God. And His immense love. Of course, God forgives and loves. Certainly He does. But, unlike most Christians will tell you, it’s not unconditional forgiveness and love. God has one, single condition, one requirement, for His forgiveness and eternal love. You gotta humble yourself and … 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”.

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 loony moon origin story Once upon a time, there was this hot mess in the middle of an even more gigantic hot mess. Let’s call the little hot mess, Earth. And the bigger hot mess we’ll call the Solar System. There was an even bigger hot mess called the universe. But I don’t want this moon origin story to get too big, so … 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.
