Sometimes I wish I could go back in time to when our girls were little. The world seemed a better, kinder place back then. The world today is so different. Kids are being forced to doubt their gender. No one in their right mind trusts the government or the media anymore. Corrupt leaders, due to... Continue Reading →
My Personal Trainer
Teaching my grandson Hudson to play an instrument is so much fun. He is very gifted, but knows he has much to learn. I'm proud of how hard he works to improve his skill. Jesus said, “Everyone, after he has been fully trained, will be like his teacher." Luke 6:40. He was saying, “You can... Continue Reading →
A Woman Who Fears the Lord
My wife and I met in a music group in the 70s. She sang and I played keyboards. She says she first fell in love with my talented hands. I admit, I first fell in love with her beautiful face.

Sweet Friendship
The other day I was pouring my heart out to my dear friend Bobby. I had been having several restless nights due to a burden I’ve been carrying.

He Still Does Miracles

Prepare for Departure
It was a warm Spring day. I was 16. My dad and I were playing softball with friends when I heard someone scream. I spun around on the pitcher’s mound to see my father had fallen in centerfield. He died that afternoon of a heart attack at the age of 55. As I write this,... Continue Reading →
Father to the Fatherless
Years ago, My wife and I were camp counselors for a ministry that would take at-risk youth camping in the Sierra Nevada. The goal was simply to show them the love of Jesus. Many of the kids had absent fathers and were causing trouble at school. For a week, I shared a tent with four... Continue Reading →
