    Michael Jackson (1958-2009)

    I am two years older than Michael Jackson and I was surprised, to say the least, by the news of his passing. I have always been a fan of his music and his talents and disappointed by his lifestyle and behavior.

Guitar

Your Name

I don’t believe I’ve ever met anyone who doesn’t appreciate the sound of good guitar playing. In fact, mediocre guitar playing (My style) is often worth listening to. Guitars are great instruments for worship songs and I don’t know why I haven’t featured a Guitar Category before now since it’s something that I enjoy and I know others enjoy as well.

The Word and God

John 1:1-2
The opening words, “In the beginning”, are probably a conscious reminiscence of the first words of the Bible. The first book of the Hebrew Bible was named “In the beginning” (from its opening words) so the expression would be widely known. John is writing about a new beginning, a new creation [...]
