God Damn.

Exodus 20:7 reads: “Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.” I’ve been thinking about this scripture recently because a friend asked some questions on her Facebook regarding God’s name and whether or not it was …

80 pounds, 10 Inches.

The first thing you need to understand is that it hasn’t been easy. It has been quick. It has been exciting. But easy wouldn’t be the correct way to describe it all. I can say this – I was tired. Tired of being fat. Tired of having anxiety attacks because I knew I could have …

On the subject of Fall music. As a creative type human, nothing is more important to me than listening to the right music at the right time. This is especially important this weekend as I head to St. Louis to see Matthew Sweet on his special 20-year anniversary Girlfriend tour. This tour is going to …

Why Thomas Jefferson Was Wrong.

Thomas Jefferson wanted to know Jesus. The Smithsonian Institute has at this very moment, the original “cut-and-paste” Bible that was created by this founding father. You can order the book from Amazon, and I’d like you to see a bit of the description. “Working in the White House in 1804, Jefferson set out to edit …

I LOVE YOU.

“I love you.” Awfully powerful words, aren’t they? Over the past year I began hanging out with a group of guys from Lee University. Some are recent grads, some are seniors. Most all of them work/volunteer at Regenerate Music Co. All of them are much younger than me. They have a habit, these friends of …

Two Nights, Three Films

When I was in college, I dated a girl who absolutely LOVED going to the movies. There was nothing she liked more on a date than just going to the movie theater, holding hands, eating popcorn and watching the picture show, which was awesome.

Recording.

Recording is always a fantastic time. This time I have the feeling that it is going to be more fantastic than most. For starters, I love everyone I’m working with. In addition to this, I’m simply in a different place in life. The people I’m creating with are all very easy to get along with, …

Crazy Dreams of Exotic Fried Chicken…
