Here’s one of my favorite CS Lewis quotes: “I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.” And I think it ties in nicely with this CS Lewis quote: “One of the most cowardly things ordinary people do is to shut their eyes to facts.” Back in … The rest of the story…

He was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1970. And that happened mostly because of just one song. So, that must’ve been quite a song. Right? You got it. So good that you’ve probably sung it at least once in your life, probably way more. Can you guess which song it is? I’ll give you a hint. The words were inspired by … The rest of the story…
No doubt about it. It’s how you started in this life. Empty-handed. And no matter what you do or don’t do, with your life, it will end that very same way. But empty-handed doesn’t have to equal branded and stranded. Yeah, despite what some people will tell you, God did not already decide who will go to Heaven, and who will go to hell. … The rest of the story…
Too many people thumb their nose at God and say (actually say out loud or say metaphorically) “You are cruel. And I hate you.” I know it’s harsh. But that’s what they say. In one way or another. And that’s even if they say they don’t believe God is real. So, here’s the thing about that. You are NOT worthy of hate or criticism … The rest of the story…
It’s already the third December Monday of 2024. And with temps, here in the heart of the heartland, lingering in the 20’s and 30’s at night, naturally my imagination wanders off into island time. What? A December Monday doesn’t affect you that way? Well, maybe that’s just because you haven’t waxed, poetically, about what’s waning gibbous out there in the middle of the night. … The rest of the story…
How do you know when time runs out for you? Pretty easy question to answer. Right? You’ll know when you’ve run out of time when your body takes that left turn back to the soil from whence it came. (side note: I love to use that expression “from whence” because of a funny Jack Benny skit from a long time ago) Anyway… The point … The rest of the story…
I can’t quite see myself writing them. But the memory of how it happened is crystal and clear. When I was almost 20 years old, I wrote a song called “Sparkling Salvation.” It wasn’t a great song. But the melody was nice. I can hear it in my head, right now, as I write about the experience. And I can remember the feeling I … The rest of the story…
Father’s Day 2023. Wow, can’t believe that I’ve seen 38 Father’s Days go by since the last one I was able to share with my own Dad. But I know he’s been with our Heavenly Father. And I know I’ll see him again one day. I salute all you dedicated dads out there. Keep up the good work. And God blesses you as you … The rest of the story…
So, if the love of your life says he or she (and those are your only two choices) would like there to be more spontaneity in the relationship, RUN! Because that means they don’t believe in the biogenesis theory. Or, at the very least, they play way too fast and loose with reality. Because the biogenesis theory IS reality. In fact, it’s not just … The rest of the story…
Poetry in motion. “She blinded me with science.” And I’m about to dazzle you with distraction. Yeah, I figure I can mix the magic, media, and metaphors and still be back at the kitchen table in time for breakfast. Kids, don’t try this at home. Now, let’s dive into the wonderful world of kinetic art. First, what’s so great about kinetic art? Well, here’s … The rest of the story…
