I have never abused drugs or alcohol and never intend too, but I sure would like to medicate these feelings away. If I had some positive thoughts it would be nice, something to look forward to but I don’t. My life is pretty much behind me now. Maybe I should look at it like that…whats […]
It always feels like another shoe is going to drop. There isn’t any extended peace or joy. I live on the edge of something I cannot describe but it isn’t a pleasant place to be. All good is temporary and the pain is the tie that binds. I don’t feel like I belong, anywhere I […]
The Coronavirus Pandemic has done a lot of things to a lot of people during the last few months. I was on the brink of busting out of a long, dark period of life. Hopes renewed and motivated to get after it again. I was in first gear and accelerating, but now I am back […]

It was sung in a song and the words say this, “Restore the joy of my Salvation.” For many of us this is something we struggle with after experiencing any number of difficult situations while dealing with the church. I, for one, had lost […]
A few years ago I pursued a dream that went sideways. I was late to the table anyway but now I am pushing 60. Who wants a 60 year old worship leader up front? It’s a serious question. One that requires total and complete honesty. I am doubting my ability to step back in after […]
Lamentations 3:22-24 The Message (MSG) God’s loyal love couldn’t have run out, his merciful love couldn’t have dried up. They’re created new every morning. How great your faithfulness! I’m sticking with God (I say it over and over). He’s all I’ve got left. Question of the day: Are your days new every morning? […]
