Walking Distance

For Father's Day 2013, I received the book, As I Knew Him, by Anne Serling. It is a moving tribute to her father, Rod Serling, whom I greatly admired.

Anne’s book addresses the deep grief she experienced following his death at the young age of 50. The book was the inspiration for this song, named after a classic Twilight Zone episode featuring Gig Young. The song speaks to the grief that all of us experience when we lose someone dear to us, and it offers a perspective that can calm our anxious spirit. I forwarded a copy of the song to Anne, who liked it very much. I hope you will too.

A Bag Of Three Nails

Bag of Three Nails

I spoke with a dear lady whose life had been badly broken.  As our conversation continued she shared with me how Jesus had come and in her own words made her a walking picture of mercy.

Those comments inspired me to write this song.  We all hang photos in our homes of the people and events that are the most precious to us.  I hope this simple song reminds us of the picture that is the most important of all, the one in the very center of our most precious memories that gives them true meaning and eternal purpose.

Two Wounded Warriors

Ryan, The All Glory Project

This song was inspired by The All Glory Project, a unique program that raises money for horse-assisted therapy programs that help veterans restore their physical and emotional health. I know you will be touched as you learn more about the project and those whose lives have been impacted. If you are touched by this song, please do what you can to support the All Glory Project. It was an honor to be able to meet Elizabeth Shatner and share this song with her. You can find more information on the All Glory Project homepage.

Every Word He Didn't Say

We live in a world of constant noise. Perhaps you've heard the saying "Your actions speak so loud I can't hear a word you are saying?" Our hearts hear the words Jesus never had to say because He demonstrated them on the cross.

John 21;25 puts it like this "And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen."
