  • A miracle

    A miracle

    My former doctor called me the other day. I was slightly shocked to get a personal call from him. I suppose it was in a professional capacity, but he called to apologize for not referring me to a nephrologist sooner.

  • A short one…but crucial

    A short one…but crucial

    This is a short post, and not one I like writing, but I’m afraid it’s true. You may or may not agree with me. Here is a song about it. I want it to be “Yes” for everyone, and according to the Bible, God does too!!!

  • Black History Month – Song

    Black History Month – Song

    This is a salute to Martin Luther King Jr, and a nod to Black History Month. I am just a white man, but I’m trying to pay homage where credit is due.

    Getting Back Up

    A Manual For Men (but the ladies can benefit too!) I was doing well for several months but then was judgmental and stumbled. I also overdid something that upset the apple-cart, and in the end, I should have found a better way to cope. I was angry, frustrated and depressed, so I fell off the…

    G.L.A.D. Floodgates Here is the first track, “Which Way the Wind Blows” If you want to invest in the Tree of Life, please give this album a listen. It’s beautiful and life-affirming.
