If you’ve ever driven through Wichita, Kansas, you might have noticed there are some flat parts. In fact, I don’t know how many times I’ve heard people diss Kansas with comments like, “It’s so flat.” But I just smile to myself as I remember struggling to ride my Western Flyer up those East Kansas hills on my way to the swimming pool. And I … The rest of the story…

I’ve never enjoyed writing pro life songs. And I wish none existed. OK, I said it. And I’m not taking it back. But I’ll explain why I’m so anti pro life songs. Because I’d much rather write songs about all the glorious things of God’s creation. You know; love, flowers, whimsy, and everything else that delights your senses and sensibilities. But every day it’s … The rest of the story…
In a way, you could say that life requires the incrementalism approach. Because you’re not born knowing everything you’ll know or how to do everything you’ll do. And you don’t learn calculus and geometry in first grade. And you don’t start on black diamond ski trails. So, life is a series of steps. Each one leading to the next. And so on. But certain … The rest of the story…
It was fifteen years ago, next month, that some friends of mine attempted to put together and display the largest protest sign ever. The event took place in Golden, Colorado (near Denver) to send a message to the Democratic National Convention held in that city. And, according to the Guinness Book of World RecordsTM they succeeded. According to American Right to Life, an abortion … The rest of the story…
Many years ago I called on singer-songwriters, particularly those who call themselves Christians, to embrace the sanctity of life from the womb to the tomb. And, sadly, that idea didn’t catch on all that well. Evidently pro life ideas don’t catch on these days. Now, when I say that, don’t misunderstand. I’m not saying there aren’t lots and lots of pro life people in … The rest of the story…
Elgielene will back me up on this (and she’ll probably add how annoying it can be). But there are almost always notes and beats going on in my brain. And the annoying part (for others who can’t hear them) is how they manifest through my finger tips. Yeah, I tap out the notes and beats with my fingers. Virtually ALL the time. Well, during … The rest of the story…
Some are more important than others. And some have little to no consequences. But some can make you stop in your tracks. Because you realize the choice you make today could change your whole life. And there’s no choice that proves that true more than the one called “pro choice.” Ironically, virtually every “pro choice” ends in a huge con lie. Because there’s an … The rest of the story…
My wife became a certified health coach several years ago. And one of the key things her instructor mentioned, that hit home with me, was that self care is the best healthcare. There’s a ton of rhyme and reason to that assertion. And a friend of mine shared a link, in her social media feed, to an article about Walgreen’s and CVS drugstores. The … The rest of the story…
The most serious issue facing our nation and the world isn’t fiscal. It’s physical. And it isn’t gun control or rock-n-roll. It’s mind control and your very soul. The most serious issue this world faces starts in the heart (which is not to be trusted, by the way, so don’t blindly follow your heart). But I want mine to be an optimistic voice in … The rest of the story…
You fell for it. And you did what had to be done. “They” said it’s YOUR choice. And you certainly made it. So, after you fall for a choice, like this, what’s left? Well, a glorious life filled with endless choices that can lead to your fulfillment and happiness. Right? Hmm. Let’s go to the video replay. And let’s see what others say. <span … The rest of the story…
