is really just my home.., a place where many, many creative souls wander through who bless me with their time and gifts. is the name of the entity that records what's going on and distributes those happenings, accordingly.
is the moniker of my spiritual journey that makes everything happen. Please visit my official pages for detail of how all of this manifests.
Story behind the song
This tune wasnt' terribly difficult to write..., but good Lord, what a challenge to record!! This version is #3, the first two being lost and eaten by our computer! In the end, as these things go, it's better. What I believe was happening was simply spiritual warfare. If GOD is calling you to write or perform differently than the masses, be prepared for some resistance to that call. Let your resolve be to FINISH whatever the opposition challenges..., even BETTER than you perhaps intended.
Honor the Music of your Soul.
Lyrics
GOING, GOING, GONE.

Going, Going, Gone.
We fail to see it pass...
We think our lives will outlast,
Time, Sad-Times, In-Between Time.
We did not hear the sound,
We thought we'd have another go-round...
But the storm blew in too soon,
Opportunity's left the room (repeat).
Our cherished strength was only on loan...,
It was never ours to store away...
Opportunity's left the room (repeat).
Gone, to another place...
Gone, all that's left is grace.
It was never ours to store away,
It's going, going, gone!
All those years of doubt and frustration,
Seeking approval, but finding alienation.
Holding on, in quiet desperation,
Our cherished strength was only on loan...
Going, Going, Gone.
Vamp Out: Going, Going, Gone...
(For You, Daddy)
How do you know what will happen tomorrow? For your life is like the morning fog... it's here a little while, then it's gone.
(James 4:14)
