You and I exist on this planet at the same time. We’re both humans, and we both have the exact same needs…food, water, shelter, clothes, emotional stability. Does one of those needs seem out of place compared to the others? If you said yes to “emotional stability”, you may already be ahead of me. But please allow me to make my point and then … Read the rest…
Many, many people don’t believe in the God of Christmas. And I can only imagine the inner sense of hopelessness and futility that helps to cultivate. The God of Christmas is THE one and only God. If there is no God who created the heavens and the earth…if there is no God who created us and every living creature and thing on the earth…if … Read the rest…
I Can’t Remember
I can’t remember the last time I sang this song. But I ran across it today, and I thought I’d share a little background about the lyrics. In another post I shared how I love metaphors.

If we could fast forward to the future right now, do you think you’d like to make the trip? One … Read the rest…
You get to choose for yourself where and how you’ll spend eternity. I hope you don’t mind if I make a subtle suggestion: Choose life and live forever. I’ve shared the lyrics to my song called “Choose Life” before. But I’ve never shared the song itself. Today, I’m gonna make it available to anyone who wants it. Free. You don’t have to subscribe to … Read the rest…
Turn Your Eyes On
I’m a metaphor kind of guy. I love ’em. I use ’em every time it makes sense, and it makes sense almost all the time.
