  • Love One Another

    Send us Fan Mail

    My desire is to bless you with inspiring works of songs, poetry and teachings that help you in your goal to leave the Grandstand World and enter the world where your choices make a difference in both your life and the lives of those around you. The poem is a short one entitled, "Truthing." When a baby is toothing, they are often in pain. So, too, do we often hurt when we are truthing - going through the trials of life. Next I share a song Eva and I wrote entitled, "Love Each Other," then I complete this episode with two chapters, unpublished as yet. The first one is "Love One Another" and the second one is "Let's Drain the Swamp."

  • The Opposite of the Golden Rule

    Send us Fan Mail

    Today I want to share some of my longer work. The poem is a song that I felt deserved poetry status entitled, "A Perpetual Jubilee." We need to give as God gives, uninterruptedly forever. The lyrics to this song/poem came quickly and I believe provides a message for today. The song is "Forgive Them for They Know Not What They Do." A 6 minute+ song about the importance of forgiveness then comes the teaching from a new batch of writing not yet in a book entitled, "The Opposite of the Golden Rule." This should be a thought provoking session today and an important one as we leave the grandstand world.

  • Our Bodies, Ourselves

    Send us Fan Mail

    The song, today, is I Found I'm Just in Love. The lyrics literally poured through to me and I could barely write them down because they were coming so fast. I had just forgiven my roommate his debt to me for that month's rent when I left to go to work. On the way, the lyrics began coming and I had to pull over to write them down.

    The poem is entitled, "The Instrument" and the teaching is entitled, "Our Bodies, Ourselves."

  • A Worldly Bypass

    Send us Fan Mail

    Today I took one of my long songs that worked well as a poem and made it one (with appropriate background music from Josh Woodward). It is entitled "Redeemable Me." The song for today is entitled "Kingdom Child." It was written at Otter Creek in Indiana I believe. The teaching today is from my current writing and is entitled, "A Worldly Bypass."

  • Troubleshooting the World

    Send us Fan Mail

    Truly realizing through Jesus Christ, "The Strife is Over (O'er)" (the poem for today), is a key to leaving the Grandstand World. Why? Because seeing is NOT believing. Believing is seeing. As children of God, He has given us portions of His power and His power is unleashed via belief. So it makes all the sense in the world (and heaven) that in our sight lies power. The bodies are vehicles for communication, that is all. They do not hold power over us unless we believe they do.

    Wise Christians do not judge by appearances. They judge righteous judgment.

    When something goes wrong in an appliance, we troubleshoot it to discover what's wrong. The teaching today is entitled, "Troubleshooting the World." You may find it an enjoyable exploration.

    "Freeway to Eternity" is our song for today.

  • Holy Dust

    Send us Fan Mail

    Back during Obama's presidency, he introduced what he initially called, "Obama-Care." It made me think about Jesus and how much He cares. The poem is entitled "Does Obama Care Like Jesus Cares?"

    Next I share a teaching from my new batch of unpublished writing entitled, "Holy Dust" and I complete the episode with our song, "Worthy Worthy Is the Lamb of God." I pray this episode of Leaving the Grandstand World is a blessing to all of you listening around the world!

    This poem was written during Barack Obama’s presidency. Much of Mankind believes that if there is a God, He set us down here on earth and abandoned us thereby leaving us to fend for ourselves. Our bodies appear to give us plenty to worry about. Does Jesus still heal today? If you look for the evidence, I believe you’ll see He does. Forcing your mind to be ignorant is self-defeating. Be open-minded to the fact that God does heal, then strive to learn how He does this.

  • Do I Have Too Much Security?

    Send us Fan Mail

    On the continuing journey we are on in leaving the grandstand world, today's episode's poem is "Break Me!" which are some lyrics that I never put music to. It works as the poem for today and stays with the theme. The song is "Did You Know?" while the teaching explores, "Do I Have Too Much Security?"
