Morning prayer
A local Music store was selling their inventory and then I saw it...a harmonica holder. Well, I had to buy and try it, naturally. So it is added, somewhat roughly, to this simple offering. I also tried a "speaker assist" to help my little Pixel 6 phone cope. The song is a devotional of sorts. Hope you like it. Turn on the CC (closed captions) for the lyrics, and more.
God Bless you

This is the second song having to do with a memorial stone in my home-town of Granite City, IL. The first was written in the 90's and I'll have a link below. Without question what we have (or at least the opportunity) we owe to those who have gone before. As I mature I appreciate them more.

Yes, for the believer the ultimate stress reliever is giving it all to Jesus. After that, it'll be alright. A companion verse to the one given (1 Peter 5:7) is Philippians 4:6,7 "Be anxious for nothing (Don't worry about anything), but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made know to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, shall ...

This is an interesting song. Yes, it's centered around my limited experiences and issues (yes, I put my glasses on the window sill and stand before the same mirror I have for 27 years [10,000 times]) but there was such travail with this offering I think our compassionate Savior was reaching out to the so many who weep...and bleed; not just me. After all, in the Bible, Psalm 34:18 says, "The Lor...

Having been blessed with a wonderful Japanese addition to our family I am beginning, slowly, to learn a little of the language. This birthed the idea for a song. This "story" song is about a non-speaker who has a bilingual acquaintance in his life. He wants to express his feelings towards this one and elicits the aid of a teacher. His lessons are very basic and the "Sensei" guides him in expres...

Love is the Present

A couple things: 1. So, what is that instrument? Although it resembles my beloved autoharp it's actually called a "Q-Chord Digital Songcard Guitar" from Suzuki. I thought they were extinct, but NO, my local music store guy (a wise fellow) pulled it out of the shadows and gave me a deal I couldn't refuse. You can do some fun stuff with it and I hope other "originals" are produced in the future. ...
Where sorrow dwells (and hope begins)

It's been well over three decades since I last strolled the avenues of a University campus as a student (a humble State institution). It had a leftward tilt, of course, but, it appears the "tilt" has become a full-fledged capsizing, with the result that the once-managed madness of the campus has been mainstreamed into the places of power and influence in society.

    NO! NO! NO! LISTEN TO THIS PRAYER! LISTEN TO WHAT IT TRULY CLAIMS! This is NOT what Americans fought for in the War of Independence! And it's NOT what they've fought for in every conflict since. This is NOT a prayer for the US Republic. It's a prayer for ENDING the Republic and replacing it with a Christian Nationalist THEOCRACY. Will people who do NOT believe Jesus is their savior be protected? Will people who DON'T believe in the Christian God be protected? Will gay people continue to enjoy the same freedoms as Christians? Will women continue to enjoy an equal freedom with men? What about Jews, or Muslims, or Hindus or Buddhists? What about those Americans (currently around 10% of the population) who don't believe in ANY God? The answer, of course, is that ONLY those people the RULING Christian sect APPROVES OF will enjoy real protections. Will OTHER Christian sects be allowed? Will Catholics be as free as Evangelicals? What about Mormons? Or Quakers? Theocracies ALWAYS end up marginalizing and even criminalizing vast swathes of the population. And that will be justified because it's 'the will of God' (as interpreted by whoever is the dominant Christian sect in the new theocracy). This is EVERYTHING the founders of this great nation fought to prevent. Remember the words of Congress in 1776. The words that CREATED our great nation AS A REPUBLIC! "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed." This a prayer to DISSOLVE ALL THAT and replace it with an authoritarian Christian Nationalist theocracy! A theocracy that will TELL you what to believe and how to behave! Whether you agree or not!
