I created this new piece in memory of Suni, my wife, who is now in Heaven. My emotions were mixed as I wrote this song. At first, I was overwhelmed by a sense of sadness and longing since I still miss her very much! But then, I started to...

I was reading an article today which addresses the question: Do all caterpillars become butterflies? I assumed that they all did, but that was not exactly true. This article (I’ll reference it here) was explaining that all caterpillars go through a metamorphosis, but only some of them become butterflies....

Many people have vowed never to be a Christian, saying that they are all hypocrites! To a degree, I was one of those people. I didn’t entirely agree with the assertion that ALL Christians are hypocrites, however, I couldn’t deny that some Christians’ (and also non-Christians’) actions contradicted what...

Last time I wrote anything at all on this blog was on November 12th, 2022, just six days before my wife Suni went Home to Heaven. I ended that post by stating I would probably write about it more, once I had recovered from her passing. Alas, I’m finally...

As though it were yesterday, I remember, as a kid, playing with all my friends in the neighborhood. Nearly every day we would engage in a football game or some other type of sport until we were throughly exhausted…and then some. We started early and continued throughout the day,...

Like most of the songs I’m posting here, this one goes back to around 1996 or so. I named it Time and Tide because it felt like a strong tide coming in with a soft breeze in the evening. As I think about it now, possibly a better name...

Christians, and also many non-Christians, are familiar with the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector (Luke 18:9-14). I was looking at this again, recently, and I perceived it differently this time. As a quick summary, the parable talks about two men, one a highly esteemed Pharisee and...

This is the first song I’m adding to my “Gospel Standards” playlist. It’s a traditional Christian song that appears to have come from African American tradition during the era of slavery. It has been sung from hymnals since the 1860s and is widely recorded by artists around the world....

I think this is a very consequential topic today! To slightly restate my question here, do you think people choose their “religion” (i.e. belief methodology) based on their political views or do their political views arise as a product of their faith? Following is my take on this and...
