Just wondering (part 1)

Sunday, July 5th, 2009

In light of Christ telling us to “Pick up our cross daily and follow Him.” And, to “Be of good cheer” because He has over come the world. Not to mention Paul’s admonition in Philippians 4 to “Be anxious for nothing…”
Would it then be considered self indulgent to embrace depression and despair when […]

Somebody talk to that kid.

Monday, June 29th, 2009

Recently, my brother joined his 7 yr old son on field trip with some other parents/children to a farm. They were all looking at a cow when the farmer began describing (paraphrase): “This cow is an dairy cow. She gets milked twice per day. She has 4 stomachs. She […]

Sort of like this:
Pretend that I’m am the mayor of our city. And, I have told you constantly that I was 100% behind your Rood Construction business. You always donate to help my re-election. Yet, year after year my main concern is replacing current modes of transportation with a monorail system. […]

Ever spoke or behaved in a way that you regretted a short time later?
Ever seen something that you thought was just “too cool” and soon it turned your stomach because you knew you had to speak the truth about it?
Ever thought that you were in the precise place for your advantage and nothing […]

Dinosaur King

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

Last Saturday my oldest daughter was watching her favorite cartoon - Dinosaur King. She doesn’t watch a lot of TV on Sat mornings, but this is the one show that she hates to miss. She’s been a fan of it for over a year. Anyway, I was in the another room when […]

01/14/09 Gee, I hate having to write political blogs… I’m a musician… what do I know? And, I can certainly agree that all Presidents make BAD decisions. But, I can’t take anymore Bush bashing about Iraq. So here’s the deal - I’m flipping by Boston Legal tonight and I hear some […]

Saturday, January 10th, 2009

Our band, REV21 has been honored to learn that their song, “Hush” is being added to a compilation disc of pro life artists/songs that will be passed out during the 36th annual March For Life rally in Washington, DC. Hush, from the CD “In The Twinkle Of An Eye” is a fun rocking parent/child […]

I grew up loving hard rock, metal, jazz, funk, and fusion. But, to me the best of those genres must have one common thread… a “POP” sensibility. So, that’s why I’m often just as content to listen to a song by Lionel Ritchie, Toto, Little River Band, or Earth Wind Fire. Below is […]

Now you know me - Now you don’t.

Thursday, October 16th, 2008

I really don’t like discussing politics in depth publicly because often people are ridiculed as being hard “left or right”… meaning: political extremists. Seems folks can’t help getting all worked up when they disagree with someone else politically. Rather than attacking the issue, they attack each other. Guess it’s a sign of […]

I Hope God Was As Amused As We Were.

Sunday, October 12th, 2008

Our oldest daughter’s recent baptism went well! We’re certainly praising God that she’s accepted Jesus as her Savior.
Of course, she added a flair that only Madeline could. First she “crossed” herself when the pastor mentioned the “Father, Son and the Holy Spirit.” “Crossed” as in the sign of the cross like Catholics […]
