      I hope so! We need to save this history because depending on if the New World Order wins, as it seems they are gaining daily, they will try to rewrite all history and wipe it out. We are seeing it happen before our eyes. It’s up to us to find ways to save this history for people in the future to find (if we lose). I sound like a conspiracy theorist, but the conspiracy theories I tried to warn all my family and friends about for years are now I fortunately coming true.

The 'good' son let his righteous feelings cloud the joy he should to welcome the wayward who lost their way. Don't let your heart turn to stone.God knows us and his grace is limitless if we come home to him.

When you look at last year and the ensuing insanity... If you look at scripture....

    Tom, I embody the line about the "wheelchair Ramp leading up to the door" for my wife. My wife of 20 years passed from Cancer 5 years ago. It was the hardest thing I ever had to deal with, leaving me with our two kids to continue raising. I am so glad that I had the family network I have, otherwise I may have gone the wrong direction. I have just recently found your music, but you truly are inspirational to so many. Keep up the great work. If everyone would just try to put themselves in someone else's shoes before they judge them, this world would be a much better place.

      Stay Strong and hopeful, keep all the love and good memories in your heart forever, your wife will always watch over you and your children, she is never far from you. Heaven is not far away, it's just another realm, you can always talk to her and she is listening. I lost my wife from diabetes 4 months ago. Everyday is a struggle but I try to stay positive because that's how my wife was, she was the best thing that ever happened to me. Take care and God bless you and your family.

Drug and alcohol abuse was my escape. I finally decided I hated myself, so suicide was the next logical choice. Then I remembered what I learned about God as a child. I finally forgave my dad for how I was treated and forgave myself for all the damage done by my choices. Forgiveness is key, and I dont think anyone can truly forgive without accepting forgiveness themselves.

    Hey Brother, I want say all your songs are kick ass! This song is my favorite song! I played this song for my X-wife who is a substance abuse and director of a in patient substance abuse program . One night a week the program has a one hour night class in which close too 30 patients attend . She played this song at the class and she said that the room got completely quiet and EVERY single patient in the class had tears rolling down their cheeks including another counselor and the intern! She has worked in substance abuse for 20 years and said it was the best class she has ever attended to where the class went an hour longer because of the emotions your song sparked!!! Brother that is the epitome of being a true artist! I would love to shake your hand hop on our dawgs and take a long f#ckin ride! You should be extremely proud of what you do and how your songs touch the deepest part of men and women’s souls! GOD BLESS YOU BROTHER!! Thank you
