Kari asks: What is the worst book you ever read?
That’s a tough one, as I’ve read some pretty crappy books in my day. I hated the book Winkie—maybe I just didn’t get it, but I thought it was a royal waste of my time. I kept thinking it would get better, but it never [...]
Andy Gullahorn and his wife Jill Phillips are two of my favorite artists. And, they’re great people to boot. When I lived in Nashville, they welcomed me into their home, fed me occasionally, and were just incredibly nice to me. Add to that, they are more talented than I can express–phenomenal songwriters and musicians.
Oh, and [...]
Thirty-six questions by my count! I’m impressed. I’m going to answer them in a few batches, probably starting Thursday. (And who am I kidding, if I get a few more questions, I’ll answer those as well)! Thanks everyone! This’ll be fun

I was out of town most weekends in December, so I hadn’t taught Sunday school in about a month. So maybe I was just out of practice this morning. Or maybe it was the snow. Perhaps my kiddos had too many donuts for breakfast. All I know, is it was not a good day. But [...]
