Every time Jason and I sit down and talk Art, Songwriting, Comedy, Personal and Spiritual Growth, and Randomness, I always leave those conversations, wishing I had recorded them. So, when I began thinking about bringing guests on the podcast, Jason was the first person on my mind. I hope the listeners enjoy my talk with him and check out his social media links. He also has a new song he has writte...

If we are not careful we can reach the point where we think everything is about us. About our blessing and how God can best bless us. I hope I can learn that it isn't about me. When I have had enough, somebody else just now getting started.

What did I learn from cleaning out a toy box? If you are a parent, you spend thousands of dollars on toys for your children. I know growing up in the 70's and 80's the toys were unique and now are making a strong comeback.

I have never been too swift. Rather slow actually and that's okay. This walk of faith isn't a sprint to see who can get there first, it is a marathon that only those that endure will win.

Whether they be good or bad, memories never fade. In just a moment you can be transported back. I hope you enjoy my latest episode.

Have you ever broken a tooth and your tongue just keeps going over and getting cut? How quickly the tongue can adapt and in a day or so and maneuver without any problems.

Imagine being 600 miles away from home and wondering if God is even with you. Well, that's where I was a few years ago and something amazing happened at a Taco Bell of all places.

"Ain't no sense in complaining. Nobody gonna listen." Have you ever said that? I have but the fact is the very person we are "complaining" to maybe the very one that can help. I hope you enjoy my latest episode. 

Have you ever had a conversation with someone that reminded you of one you had read in the Bible? Maybe it wasn't being swallowed by a fish but I have a story for ya.
