about

We are divided by race, creed, economics, and denomination among many others. As long as we stand divided, we can't learn the beauty of unity and living in love. When Jesus taught about loving your neighbor, He was asked, "Who is my neighbor?" He responded by teaching about loving our enemies. It's easy to love those who love us. Jesus calls us to love even those we would consider enemies. In this there is hope for reconciliation and revitalization in our world.

lyrics

If fences make good neighbors, I must be your best friend
Our differences divide us; it’s how it’s always been
If you don’t mind I’ll mind my own and you can mind your own;
Let’s mind our own business
But there’s no way to learn to live or love or fight as one behind our old fences

Who is my neighbor?
You answer, “Is he not your enemy?”
Who is my brother?
You say he ain’t gonna look like me
We all could stand together, and maybe we can find some peace
But these fences have to fall

I pray each night to Jesus. I know you’re praying too
But I’ll go to my church Sunday. It won’t look right to go with you
If you don’t mind I’ll mind my own and you can mind your own;
Let’s mind our own business.
But there’s no way to learn to live or love or fight as one behind our old fences

Who is my neighbor?
You answer, “Is he not your enemy?”
Who is my brother?
You say he ain’t gonna look like me
We all could stand together, and maybe we can find some peace
But these fences have to fall

I've found songwriting to be the best way for me to process life, faith, and the world around me. Through song I feel we can interact with God, each other, and ourselves. I'm a blessed man with a loving wife, a son, a daughter, and a passion to see others experience the miracle of life with Jesus. I pray this music is enjoyable and thought provoking as I share my life with you. ... more
