What to Write . . . What to Write

So, I’ve been sitting in front of this laptop for around 20 minutes pondering what I should write about.  For 20 minutes I’ve been reviewing my day yesterday, thinking about what is ahead for today, recalling recent conversations, and remembering immediate plans, all with the intention of trying to find some blog worthy fodder with […]

The Needed Nudge

“You didn’t blog today . . .”   
“Um, no I didn’t.  I had to sing near Vail today, remember?  It’s far and we left early.” 
“Oh, that’s right.  I forget you’re so busy.  I’m so glad I didn’t text you about it.” 
“Yeah.  Me too.” 
That’s how the conversation went between me and Monique last night.  I simply […]

Finding Happy Pt. II

This past weekend is a complete blur for me. On Thursday, Dave LeMieux and House of Soul flew to California for a live recording . . . and that’s exactly what we did for four days, non-stop.

We played, sang, rehearsed, worshiped, and recorded, only stopping for the occasional meal every now and again . . […]

You Gotta Start, or Restart, Somewhere!

Okay, so maybe if I say this publicly it’ll stick: I start taking piano lessons today.  Wait, let me rephrase that, I start taking piano lessons again today.  The road back to the piano has been a long and winding one, but I’ve come full circle, darn it! 
Years ago, I’m talking years ago, I took […]

Lesson Learned . . . Maybe

Here’s to the Heroes Among Us!

We are humbled to offer this issue of My Goodness Magazine as a tribute of sorts to all the heroes in the world.  We take this opportunity to say thank you for the tireless tutoring you give, the thankless diapers you change and the silent prayers you utter.  Heroes, we honor you.
As you read my […]

Use Me Lord!

Let me begin by saying I’m deeply grateful for My Goodness Magazine.  I feel I am being used by God to grow the good in a wonderful way.  So thank you very much for allowing me to be with you in this very personal way. 
By any chance did anyone catch Oprah yesterday?  The show was […]

Where The Heart Is . . .

This morning, I came into work with my arms full of bags containing pictures, plants, and various other decorating items to outfit my cube into a warmer, more personal and comfortable place.  I affixed a very ethnic and cool sarong to my wall, placed pictures of Marc, Ryan and Cole prominently on my shelves, and even put […]
