It’s my wedding anniversary on Tuesday, July 15, 2014. 36th to be exact. Back in 2011 I shared a little of what I’d learned, at that time in 33 years of marriage. It still holds true today. You can revisit that entry here.
It annoys me when… Grown men walk around in short pants. Now I’m not talking about gentlemen who are on vacation, strolling on the beach or boardwalk or who play for the NBA. But, with those exceptions, please guys, pull on some big boys’ pants before you leave the house. Especially if you’re going out [...]
I have a special place in my heart for all things New York, or at least most things greater NYC area. Especially north Jersey and Long Island. And, being born in Bay Shore and growing up in East Islip (both on the Island), earns Margaret Becker a solid position in that special place. Margaret left [...]
When Clay Crosse burst on to the Christian music scene back in 1993 I was doing radio in New York. It was around that time that I first met him. His first project, My Place Is With You, featured singles like I Surrender All and I Call Your Name, and earned him the Dove Award [...]
I recently started a new group via the You Version Bible App and website, Mid Day Prayer Time. I use it to allow listeners to more easily join in during my on-air prayer times (Mon – Fri at 10:30 AM and 2:30 PM) on The JOY FM Atlanta. The plan is to also embed each [...]
It annoys me when… The guy who slices the pizza pays no attention to symmetry. I realize that slicing a pizza may not be an exact science, but I expect each slice to be relatively the same size. How else can you equally divide a pizza? If there’s no uniformity to the size of the [...]
Put together largely through the efforts of my friend, Mitchell Solarek (who now heads up Maximum Artist Management and represents artists like Natalie Grant, Danny Gokey and Donald Lawrence) and Atlantic Records’ desire to add a Christian boy band to their roster, Plus One was born in 1999. Their first project, The Promise, was released [...]
It annoys me when… Elevators skip floors. Not “skip” like they don’t stop there, but “skip” like they don’t even list the floor. I understand that hotels routinely “skip” the 13th floor and number what is actually floor 13 as floor 14. But I was recently at a hospital to see my newborn grandson. I [...]
It annoys me when… The janitorial staff takes an obvious shortcut. And then they don’t even bother to try and disguise it. Such was the case with the trash can pictured above. The lid contains two openings, each labeled. One says “Waste,” the other “Recycle.” But the can itself contains only one bag, so no [...]
Stacie Orrico is another one of those female artists signed to Christian record labels in their teens during the late 1990s and early part of the first decade of the new century. Stacie was 12 when she signed her first record deal in 1998. Her first project, Genuine, was released in 2000 and included the [...]
