Always wanted to write a Beach/Buffet style song. Visited St. Thomas one year and fell in love with the water,Tiki bar(Dinghy Beach Bar), and of course Dinghys drinks. Almost missed my plane home cause I just didnt want to leave.

Driving home from church one Sunday-out of the blue-I started singing the chorus to this song. I love the fact that, for me, walking with God lets me feel closer to Him.

At the time I wrote this, I was already weary of the politically-charged atmosphere, and needed to feel more grounded. This song came from a lot of prayer.

In 1990, we finished a home to resale during the Red's wire to wire season. We passed this church & sign every time we went there to work. I wrote it down on a piece of paper and finished the song about 20 years later. It's my modern day hymn.

I was wanting to write a Christmas classic that talks about all the emotions, traditions and
expectations we have of the holiday. I would love to hear someone like Michael Buble sing this.

The story of Jesus has epic moments where God answered His peoples' prayers. They longed for a Messiah: He sent the answer as a baby in a manger. This song covers thousands of years up to Jesus' return. I can see this being used as a choral piece.

Classic comparison of an hourglass to the time one has in their own life set to a lively bluegrass track. It takes a serious subject and presents it in a enjoyable way as people get into the music.

Christmas was a big deal for our family and each of our homes looked like a Christmas store when decorated. I've missed that and the traditions we grew up with. I was thinking about what Christmas in Heaven would be like & wrote this.

As a child you think of heroes as super humans in costumes who have special powers. But then you mature and find out the real heroes are the everyday people who step up to be there when needed. I wrote this to honor my heroes, my Mom and Dad.
