This isn’t about a sea of blue I’ve had quite a few listeners and readers ask me to consider sharing more of my “old”writings and music. And that’s pretty cool. So, thank you for asking. And the old poem, I’m sharing today, comes from all the way back in 1975. I lived in Kansas, at the time, so I was far away from any … The rest of the story…
Don’t give it all you got Cue up the Rocky theme music. Zoom the camera in on Rocky running through the backstreets of Philadelphia. Build up the music as he runs up those stairs. Feel the excitement as he reaches the top and dances with his fists in the air. Rocky gave it his all and overcame the obstacles. Yay! Scene fades. Point made. … The rest of the story…
Starshine in Iris Forty-five years ago. It’s not possible. But it’s true. The year, 1975, was forty-five years ago. It was a significant year for me for several reasons. A few small. A few large. And I was still in the beginning stages of becoming a poet and a songwriter. In fact, the poem I’m about to share with you, Starshine in Iris, is … The rest of the story…
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…
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…
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…
Walk Stand Sit When I was 13 years old, I prayed with my Grandmother and chose eternal life with God. And from that moment on, my life has been one perfect day after another. That’s how it is when you choose to walk stand sit in the way of the righteous. And turn your back on the ungodly. Are you still with me? Some … The rest of the story…
Invisible Song Machines My songs are beginning to fade away. No, they’re not going away. Just fading away. I’m taking them out of the invisible song machines. And I’m putting them back into physical places. Places where they can be seen and held. Like in the good ol’ days of records, tapes, and CD’s. This digital world has some cool advantages.

Music makes me happy. How ’bout you? Like the picture says, I promise this ain’t gonna be sappy. But it’s true. Music makes me happy. I don’t mean it forces me to be happy. And I don’t mean ALL music. Some music, of course, is written from a sad or troubled heart and it can take you there, too. But even hearing that kind … The rest of the story…
It matters who you’re faithful and true to. I know my 10th grade English teacher would correct me on that sentence. But I said it that way to make a point. Of course, it’s just good sense to be faithful and true to your family and friends, as long as they return the favor. But can any of them keep you safe? Not really. … The rest of the story…
