I just wanted to take time out to wish you a Happy New Year and to let you know about some of the happenings in my music ministry. RADIO PLAY 2013 was a great year as a number of singles off of “The Start of a New Life” received terrestrial and internet radio play. Currently, […]
What a great job these young people did using my song “Tender Mercy (Zechariah’s Song)” in a manner that I never imagined.
I have said it before and it bears repeating for this blog post that because I became a Christian just over 7 years ago, an “old Christian hymn” for me is anything off of Chris Tomlin’s Arriving. So, I am always greatly appreciative when a brother or sister who has been in the faith much […]
This season, I have become a lot more appreciative of the meaning of Advent and have searched out for relevant advent songs (and arrangements) to present to the church.

The definition of “health” is “the state of being free from illness or injury.” Plenty of quotes today regarding Governor Brown’s signing of abortion bill AB 154 (allowing non-physicians to perform “suction” abortions in the first trimester) that are using the phrase “reproductive health.” Says Kathy Kneer, CEO of Planned Parenthood Affiliates of California: Brown […]
On the 50th anniversary of the Martin Luther King, Jr. “I Have A Dream” sermon.
No, I am not talking politically. Just liberally. From a liberal perspective, isn’t a religion that is open to all, that is easy to become a part of, and that is easy to leave behind about as liberal as it gets? I was reminded of this thought as I was sitting behind two orthodox Jewish […]
