Spirituality. Politics. Music. Life.
Tonight, Northaven hosted graphic artist, Karen Blessen as a part of the Second Monday series. Karen is the only graphic artist to ever be awarded a Pulitzer Prize. But one of the things that distinguishes her art is how it is connected to her sense of spirituality. She talked to the group about “passage meditation,” […]
Read MoreJust got back from the New Member Dessert party for Northaven. It’s always such a great event. About ten or so church leaders, and ten or so new members gather for a little dessert, and some conversation about the church. I always love seeing the careful concern our church leaders show in describing the church, […]
Read MoreMaria had a gymnastics meet in Corinth last night. Corinth used to be a sleepy little town in the middle of nowhere. It was, arguably, the most rural part of the journey between Dallas and Denton. Now, it’s really just a suburb of Denton. It also used to be the turnoff for Lake Sharon, which […]
Read MoreWe played at Frisco tonight. It was another *great* show. Crowd of something over 200, and an offering of more than 2,500. We’ve got a nice rhythm to our set up and tear down. It takes lots of time and effort, but it’s nice to see how everybody pulls together. The next show, in Allen, […]
Read MoreYesterday’s blog entry was number 400 for “When EF Talks.” I started this blog mainly because it seemed like the thing to do. I wasn’t working my way through a Julia Child’s cookbook, tracking weight loss, or chronicling each moment of my family’s life. I mainly just figured: “I like to write, blogs are popular, […]
Read MoreI’m not sure how to write this entry without sounding overly proud. I get that perhaps nobody outside a candidate and her family can understand this “Daily Gratitude.” But it’s one that rings true inside our house today. Dennise was uncontested in the Democratic Primary election yesterday. She got 100 percent of the votes cast. […]
Read MoreToday is election day. If you have yet to vote here in Texas, I certainly hope you will. Yes, it’s “just” a primary election. But *all* elections are important. And the reality of primaries are that, with turnout *far* less than in general elections, your own influence is arguably far greater. I wrote this a […]
Read MoreFor once, I got to go to the songwriter group at Tom and Cary’s house. They meet each week, either there or in Oak Cliff at Bruce and Lisa’s house. But I almost *never* get to go. Last Fall, I repeatedly wanted to, but had conflicts almost every Monday…band rehearsal…meetings at church. I was literally […]
Read MoreA new song I wrote over the past couple of weeks. Hope you like it. Lyrics below… I Wish You Could Cry What if I could promise you A net that you could not fall through That always holds? Or what if all I offered you Were arms that let you fall into A tender […]
Read MoreWow, what a productive day. Great morning at church with a BIG crowd. Finished writing a song I’d been working on for a few weeks. Then, played at Schrieber’s chili cook off at night. Played a set of my own music, which was quite nice. Well received too. All in all, it’s rare to have […]
