I feel inspired to write a NEW poem every episode. Will I be able to keep up that pace? I think it will be challenging but possible. Today my new poem is entitled "My Mind Is a Garden." The original song today is "We Are Free" and the teaching is from my book, Advanced Christianity entitled, "This Is a World of Intrusion."

Today's episode of Leaving the Grandstand World begins with a poem entitled "A Call to Prayer" which was found in the public domain. The last two verses I wrote. Then we enjoy an old song I wrote entitled, "Love, Love." Although this is a love song, there is something about it that transcends human love. What do you think? I end the episode today with a selection from my book, Advanced Christianity entitled, "Effective Prayer -  The Lord's Prayer."

Many years ago (I've lost count how many), I was sitting in my car one afternoon in between my sales calls when suddenly God downloaded a song to me which was entitled, "Jump Right In." "And we'll thank God for every rising sun" was originally in the song but I changed it for a secular contest of some sort. In your mind, put that line back in. I start out with a poem which is "I Can Hear the Harmony," then move into that song and finish with a teaching from my book, Advanced Christianity entitled, "Shake, Rattle and Roll." This episode is around 27 minutes long but, hopefully, you find the time spent listening to it fruitful.

Welcome to another episode of Leaving the Grandstand World. Today I share a short poem entitled, "Give Your Art to Jesus." A little play on words there. Everyone says, "Give Your Heart to Jesus" but we should also give Him our art. The song, which comes next was written a million years ago (well, a long time ago) when I was but a youth. It is entitled, "Like a Love, Like a Love, Growing Strong." It speaks of love between a man and a woman but has elements of eternity as well. I finish with something from my book, Advanced Christianity entitled, "A Double Praise to God."

An anonymous benefactor bought studio time at a local university in Akron Ohio for my brother and me to record some of my original songs. We brought along a talented guitarist whom I only remember as Jose'. For this episode, I start with a poem entitled, "The Golden Ring" then share one of the songs we recorded that night in that studio, "Life Is a Moment." After that I share a teaching from an earlier out of print book, Extreme Christianity. The teaching is entitled, "Where Is Our Treasure?"
