IT’S EARLY…. It’s early on a Sunday morning, one of my favorite times of life. It’s dark out and won’t have a viable sun for another hour or two-three if I’m lucky. And, of course, I am writing. I always have Pandora on and one of only a couple of favorite instrumentals is playing. ‘Through the Dark’ by Helen Jane Long. She wrote the other favorite as well-‘The Aviators.’ Her ‘channel opened me to other writers of music like Tolk... Read more
THERE ARE THINGS… There are still a few things I want to do before I sign off. Now, don’t go getting all weird about me signing off. First of all, I’m fine.

NICE THINGS I have come to realize I like nice things. No, not like a Ferrari or a Lexus. Have you ever ridden in a Ferrari? You sit low like you’re sitting on the street, traveling at 80 miles an hour in second gear from stop like to stop like. It’s like that roller coaster ride at Disneyland’s California Adventure. Who the hell wants that? No. I’m talking about a freshly made bed, jammy sleep-shorts, a cool night (please dear... Read more
I believe Dad does what Dad does to build our faith and to come closer to Him, not push us away from Him. Read more
