A Change is Gonna Come . . .

One day I hope to bring same intensity and heart to any song I sing as Grandpa Elliot and Clarence Bekker of the "Playing for Change Band" bring to the song "A Change is Gonna Come."

DISCLAIMER . . .

It goes without saying . . .

The announcements, updates, thoughts, opinions, ideas, stories, meditations, prayers, recommendations, and other information written anywhere on this blog, are usually my own ramblings and responses to things I have seen, heard, read, experienced or witnessed. I write out of the ever changing and conflicted struggle that exists between my head and my heart as I try to live out my life mission in the best and most productive way I can.

What I write or share in no way reflects the views of any church, denomination, political party, family member, friend, relative, writer, musical group, musician friend, artist, fishing buddy, fellow hiker, walker, other blogger, city, state, county, nation, or for that matter anybody else you possibly could ever hope to think of.

Sometimes, the words and thoughts of others are so well written, and touch me so deeply, that I am moved to share them. When and if I share the words and thoughts of others, I honestly try to give and acknowledge appropriate credit, and will do so if you bring it to my attention that I haven't.
