Important relearned life lesson during the past few weeks: I am not in control.I know this. I really do. I teach/preach/sing it all the time. I celebrate with others when they re-discover it too. But it seems to me that the most important life lessons get learned and relearned. We have short memories. The light […]
Wanted to be sure everybody heard about Meg Braun‘s show tomorrow night at Opening Bell in Dallas. I met Meg this May at Kerrville, when she not only became a “Kerrvert,” but was also firmly initiated into the Camp Nashbill family. (Those of you for whom that last sentence made no sense, just smile and […]
Many of us love a good song circle. Among the circles we love the most are the song circles at “Camp Nashbill” at the Kerrville Folk Fest. In the belief that “it can be this way always,” below you will be our growing attempt at a “virtual song circle,” uploaded songs from our Camp Nashbill […]
Connections debuted our new show last night, the SuperHits of the 70s. It was a fantastic night. We had over 350 persons in attendance and, as they say, a good time was had by all. Even with all the planning and forethought that goes into a show like this, we never really know how it’ll […]
Most of you who know my musical tastes know the hallowed, and unabashed, place that Dan Fogelberg holds in my heart. Dan died far too young. To this day, many times when I’m listening to his music, it’s hard for me to fathom that he’s been gone for almost two years now. And even now, […]

Sunday’s sermon seems to be getting a lot of positive comment from folks in various quarters. When that happens, I tend to post it to my personal blog, in the hopes that anybody else who might find it helpful can easily find it. It’s a sermon about healthcare. As you can’t help but know, this […]
I haven’t written much about the death of Senator Ted Kennedy. Today was his funeral in Boston and graveside service at Arlington Cemetery. We had a busy personal day with a whole series of activities that kept us away from the television for most of it. But one moment we happened to see really captured […]
Since Health Care is in the news, and since some folks who commented on my blog yesterday seem hungry for a serious discussion of the issues, I remembered a blog I wrote last year on Health Care and the Federal Government. You can find it here. Why it took me two months of current national […]
Set aside your beliefs about health care for a moment. Friends, things are getting out of hand with respect to respect for the President. Things are getting out of hand with respect to the things people are saying about Barack Obama. Things are getting out of hand with respect to their actions. I have written […]
