Michael Gerard Knott passed away on Tuesday, March 12, 2024. I can’t say we were close, but I considered him a friend. I first discovered his music when I was in college, but after graduation I found myself in Southern California working for Diamante Music Group in Newport Beach. At my very first sales conference, Michael Knott walked in, dressed in black, and carrying a worn out acoustic guitar. He put one knee up on a chair and he played... Read more
Over the weekend, I picked up a book that I had started to read over a year ago and laid aside for awhile. The book seemed to call to me, as if perhaps I was now fully prepared to receive the insights that were hidden for me there. The book, “The Untethered Soul” by Michael A.

Over the weekend I was reading through Ursula K. Le Guin’s masterful novel THE LEFT HAND OF DARKNESS and in Chapter 5 “The Domestication of Hunch” there is a reference to a group of Foretellers in a distant land where the protagonist travels to ask a question. The culture in this strange place is centered around a religious cult that honors ignorance and doubts wisdom. This bit of dialog near the end of the chapter really intrigued me. It’s when...

Saying 98 Jesus said, “The kingdom of God is like a man who wanted to kill a powerful man. He drew the sword in his house and drove it into the wall, that he might know his hand would be strong (enough). Then he slew
Saying 97 Jesus said, “The kingdom of God is like a woman carrying a jar full of meal. While she was walking on a distant road, the handle of the jar broke and the meal poured out behind her on the road. She was unaware,
Everyone’s talking about the HE GETS US Super Bowl ad that ran during last night’s big game. If you didn’t watch it, or haven’t see in yet, here’s a link to go check it out> While some Evangelical Christians complained about the ad for suggesting that Jesus would ever show love and compassion to Abortionists, Immigrants, Refugees and Gay people [the people they hate]….. …most of the complaints I’ve heard stem from the bold-faced hypocrisy of paying $100 Million to...
