Everywhere I Go

I’ve been in tears, I’ve been the clownI’ve had my doubts what if I’m wrongI’ve been in love then maybe notI crossed my heart and then forgot Everywhere I go, I see you there, I(Everywhere I go, I see you there) I read the story that you diedI turned the page, you were aliveWith hope […]

Ride Into The Danger Zone

Jesus said that we are supposed to love our neighbors. He also said that we are supposed to love our enemies. That pretty much includes everyone doesn’t it? In Luke 10:25-37 he tells a story about a Samaritan who stops and takes care of someone who had been robbed, beaten, and left for dead. The story is […]

Happy Anniversary

Lord willing, we are somewhere between Hertford, NC and Mansfield, PA when this posts. Robin and I are really looking forward to the next three days as we spend time with our little tribe. This post will very short. I simply want to wish Geo and Becca a happy tenth anniversary. We love you guys. […]

Happy Birthday Geo

I became a father 29 years ago today. There are times when it seems like it was just yesterday. Today is one of those days. I was a month shy of turning 26 when Geo was born. To think that he is older now than I was then is sobering. It’s one more reminder than […]

Catching Up

I’m just going to take a moment to bring everything up to speed. I began this blog a little over five years ago as I was making the transition from Pennsylvania back to North Carolina. That move took place in June 2020. I was hoping that a change of scenery would inspire more writing. That […]

A New Start

It’s been almost two years since I made a post here. I will be honest, I abandoned it and didn’t plan on coming back. I have never really considered myself a blogger. Even when I was writing every day at my old site, I wouldn’t have called myself a blogger. I guess the question is: […]

Get Ready

I plan to return in three days. It has been way too long.

Ranking Petra: #21 God Fixation

I want to reiterate that (with the exception of Double Take) I don’t dislike any Petra album. Even those at the bottom of my list have some really good songs. God Fixation actually has a handful that I enjoy, even if the album didn’t excite me when it was released in 1998. That was during […]

Ranking Petra: #22 Revival

I must confess, I haven’t listened to this album very much. I have the DVD that was produced to promote it and have probably watched it more than I have actually listened to the album. It’s not that Revival is a bad album. By 2001 Petra was down to three members (Bob Hartman, John Schlitt, […]

Ranking Petra: #23 Double Take

Not counting compilation albums, Petra have released twenty-one studio albums, three live albums, and two Spanish-language albums since forming in 1972. Based upon a conversation on Twitter (thanks Caleb The Spy) I have taken it upon myself to rank and briefly give my thoughts on Petra’s catalog. I will not be looking at the many […]
