I can remember now for damn near close to 50 years of my life, stumbling across the phrase from the disciple whom Jesus loved in chapter 1 of his gospel, “Behold the Lamb of God, that takes away the sin of the world!”. And I guess I knew what that meant to a degree, even …
Well, I don’t guess I need to spend too much time on why it’s been over two gosh darn months since I last wrote to you. After all, you know me by now, and well, this ADHD has really got to stop! I was however excited about my last post, particularly because I was feeling …

Deja Vu I stumbled across a portion of scripture for about the umpteen millionth time this morning. A scripture that indeed struck a chord within me that has been perhaps longing to be strummed for some time in order to awaken my own calcified heart to its melodic revelation. And as I polished off that …
Blog ADHD I guess you could say I’ve gotten a little off focus lately, with you know… with um, that narrow path thing I’m always going on about. It’s of course always on my wayward heart and mind as it relates to the part of it I see drastically missing now in the church, and …

For after all, what is good for the goose as they say, must also be good …

Back to Basics I guess today it’s high time I get back to why I started writing this blog in the first place. You know, getting back to the narrow path and the Jesus I see missing in America and all; which by default also means the one missing in the American Church…oh yeah, and I guess in me …
A Little Bit of It In Everyone I was a whopping 8-years old when Neil Young released the song, The Needle and the Damage Done. Though it would be a short 5 years later that I first listened introspectively to his haunting prophetic decrees; it was also then as a somewhat “dazed and confused” young …
