I think I’ve made no secret that my favorite color is blue. Just take a look around my website, and I think you’ll see it’s pretty obvious. But have you ever wondered about blue? “Uh, no Tony. Why would I waste my time doing that when I can just read what you have to say on the subject?” Well, I do ponder things like … The rest of the story…
Merry Christmas. I hope you have a blessed day full of the the things you enjoy most. And above all…I hope you truly understand the only reason we have Christmas and the “holiday season” is because God took on human flesh to make a way for us to live with Him forever in Paradise. In Faith, Hope, and Love”
The rest of the story...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 … The rest of the story…
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 … The rest of the story…
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. Well, I also love a play on words…or a twist…or something ironic or sardonic or eccentric or concentric…or…well, you get it. In the following lyrics you’ll see a … The rest of the story…
I don’t know why certain combinations of words intrigue me, but they do. And I’ve been that way as far back as I can remember. For example…what does “by and by” mean? Well, it appears to usually mean “at some point in the future” or “eventually”. But “by and by” is also used in place of “by the way”. I prefer the first explanation. … The rest of the story…
Even though we never truly get to the future, it does exist. There really is a future…in your future. I don’t know exactly what it’ll look like or how it will all play out, but I’m convinced there are good things in my future. If we could fast forward to the future right now, do you think you’d like to make the trip? One … The rest of the story…
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 … The rest of the story…
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. For instance…one time back in 1983 I wrote a song about trying to help someone see more clearly and understand the world around them. I used the metaphor “turn your eyes on”. Of course, there’s no quick an easy … The rest of the story…
You’ll hold on to nothing when you leave this life… …but that doesn’t mean you don’t have anywhere else to go. On the contrary, your whole life here on earth is only the beginning. Eternity is a full on experience once you leave the confines of your body. It’s the point of no return. And if you’ve chosen to be with your Creator, you … The rest of the story…
