The Songs & Stories

The Path (Smooth)

Everyone is on a path.  And that path leads somewhere.  The question is if that path is leading you to somewhere you really want to end up.  Almost everyone knows some of Psalm 23:  "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want." Verse 3 says, "He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake."  Psalm 25:4 says, "Make me to know your ways O Lord; teach me your paths."  Your current path may be smooth, rocky, curvy, easy, or hard.  What matters is where you end up.  God is good.  If you put all your trust in Him, if you do not lean on your own knowledge to do what is right, if you keep the Lord God in mind in all you do, He will make straight your paths...Proverbs 3:5-6

Fresh Every Morning

There are times we just need a fresh start.  Leave the old behind.  Begin anew.  There is only one way to begin anew every day with peace.  Through the one true God, Creator of all that is - He has given life to each one of us. It is His steadfast love that never ends for those that truly seek after Him.  And through what Jesus did - regardless of what we have done in the past, by God's grace, and by His steadfast love, His mercies are fresh every morning…  

Lamentations 3:22-23

No_Greater_Love_3000x3000_Under_2MB.jpg
No Greater Love

"Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends."  That’s what Jesus Christ did – He laid down His life for you, for me, for the ungodly, for sinful man.  And He did it while we were still sinners – not once we “cleaned up.”  "One will scarcely die for a righteous or good person.  But God shows His love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us."  Come to Jesus – just as you are.  You will never be good enough on your own.  That is the whole purpose of why Jesus suffered and died on the cross, God giving His son in His love for you – to take your sins away, give you His righteousness, and life with Him for eternity… John 15:13, Romans 5:6-11, 2 Cor. 5:21, Romans 4:5-8.  

​

And what does God do for you when you come to Him in sorrow for your sins, asking forgiveness, with nothing to offer except for you to trust in Jesus Christ for your salvation?  God supernaturally gives you a new heart, and a new spirit, removing your heart of stone and gives you a new heart of flesh...  Ez. 11:19; Ez. 36:26; Deut. 30:6; Jer. 24:7; Jer. 31:33; 2 Cor. 5:17.

First Is Last

The bible is filled with wisdom.  In its pages God reveals His character.  God does not give eternal life to those whose status is based on human hierarchy, their riches, accomplishments, positions obtained or even how good they may seem.  God's kingdom is very different. Matthew 20:26 says that, “…whoever is great among you, let him be your servant.”  The great news is that Jesus Christ, God that took human form, came to serve - even unto His death on a cross for the forgiveness of our sins!  Life is given to those that come to Him humbly, in sorrow for their sin, nothing to offer but to trust in the work and person of Jesus!  Salvation is by His Devine grace alone. The last will be first, and the first will be last. How joyous it is to know that our salvation is not by our works, lest we be found falling short, or be found boasting.  But it is by God's grace and His true, eternal love alone. Profound...

Matthew 19:30, 20:16, Mark 10:31, Luke 13:30

About The Artist:

My Musical Journey

What you hear in this music are my original compositions - a gift that God has given me. These compositions are a mixture of my performances coupled with modern music production techniques.  This is music that I wrote, played, recorded, mixed, added instrumentation, and was granted copyrights for each song.  To accomplish my music goals, and to bring to life what I have always envisioned these musical compositions to be, I used an Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) music production tool on many, but not all, compositions.  This tool gives me access that is likened to having a music producer, top recording engineers, and great session players.  I am an acoustic guitar player. Now I am able to have the accompaniment of a host of instrumentation, bringing my music to life.

​

A.I. Music is controversial, and I understand why.  I was certainly one to hold A.I. at arms length, especially A.I. Music.  But I have found a tool that can take my compositions and transform them into what I envisioned my music to be - to orchestrate it how I like, to arrange it how I like, and to make the emotive sound I love. What you will hear in the final production of these songs is a mixture of my own performances, and of the A.I. Assisted music produced from my original music, and instrumented to bring forth the fullness of my music vision.  It is this sound and compositions that I present to you, and hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

​

My Musical Goal - Good Music!

I love being an acoustic guitar player.  And I love to create instrumental music!  I love to play it, and I always hear more than what I am playing solo.  I hear the other instruments and long for them to be there.  I love to add instruments where I hear them.  I love to create very emotive music - whether it is happy, feel-good tunes, or melancholy that fits the mood.  Create a groove with odd but beautiful chords, the use of complex chord structures, and use of multiple tunings - then create surprises in the music.  Make it exciting, make it happy, make it sad, but never boring.  That is what makes music good...
