“The Answer is Love” by Elon Musk

I don’t put a lot of weight in the incredibly nice things people say about me. I am just a regular guy who grew a conscience in his midlife. That’s all. But one trait I will agree with and feel, unfor

The 3 Stages of Faith

I can’t overstate how influential girls and women have been in my life. If I’m honest with myself, it was probably MaryBeth Glasgow that had as much influence over my abilities as a cellist as any tea

Drug Dealers: We need to talk

I think there is a good chance I would have been a drug dealer if I had been born into a different situation. Drug dealers are ambitious, driven and like the action. That’s me. And honestly, that’s th

The Conundrum of the Drowning at the Rio Grande

I’ve gotten to hear two sermons recently. This Sunday and last. That’s novel for me, considering I haven’t listened to a sermon in many months. Our friend, Holly, took us to her church during our trip
