my love does it good...

for my baby...



And When I Go Away
I Know My Heart Can Stay With My Love
It's Understood

It's In The Hands Of My Love
And My Love Does It Good
Wo-Wo-Wo-Wo-Wo-Wo
My Love Does It Good

And When The Cupboards Bare
I'll Still Find Something There
With My Love
It's Understood

It's Everywhere With My Love
And My Love Does It Good
Wo-Wo-Wo-Wo Wo-Wo-Wo-Wo
My Love Does It Good
I Love Oh Wo......

My Love Only My Love Holds
The Other Key To Me Oh....
My Love Oh...My Love
Only My Love Does It Good To Me
Wo-Wo-Wo-Wo Wo-Wo-Wo-Wo
My Love Does It Good

Don't Ever Ask Me Why
I Never Say Goodbye To My Love
It's Understood

It's Everywhere With My Love
And My Love Does It Good
Wo-Wo-Wo-Wo Wo-Wo-Wo-Wo
My Love Does It Good Oh....My Love Oh...My Love

Only My Love Does It Good To Me

today is her birthday


I like the way she looks at me.

it has not always been as pleasant as it is now. we have had to be reminded of the treasure that is our marriage. we have had to bare knuckle fight for what we have. there are scars and weary miles. recent realities have caused us to look hard into the soul of our marriage. we may have not liked everything we saw, i liked it when she looked at me.

she is a true beauty.
the type of beauty that lights up a room.

I like to rub her wrist as she looks at me.

she is as tough as nails. it comes with living with an ass like me.

she is tender and compassionate in ways that are foreign to me.

her heart is orginal servant passed down from one who knows service.

she is original...primal...hard core.

i like the way she smells.


today is her birthday.

and while our marriage has not been at all easy on occasions, it certainly is not for wussies, she is my wife.

today is her birthday.

happy birthday baby. I am utterly devoted to you.

public apology

a comrad at arms is no longer in the game.

and while there was a time when I would have rejoiced in what could be seen as kharma, a fellow journeyman has fallen. i should not, nor should any take pleasure in that.

so brother, as i have held a root of bitterness in my heart because of percieved attacks, and as I have said things concerning those deeds to others wanting to gain my "pound of flesh", I confess i was wrong.

whether you did what I thought you did gave me no right to say those things. I was wrong and I apologize.

I hope Jesus will guide and restore you and your family to a place of service...in or out of his workplace.

just wanted you to know...

thought about you a little while ago. "wish you were here" always makes me think about you. funny. it seems like a life time ago since you were here.

lots has changed.

tiff grew into a beautiful young woman. she has your smile. you have a grandson. good lookin kid. but you knew that. you would be proud.

mother is ok. we don't spend the time together as we should. there never seems to be enough time. she misses you.

i miss you.

tj was in iraq. 5 year marine. he wanted to be like you. lins is with child. soon to have a granddaughter. sheri is still the best thing ever. but you knew that.

have not talked to our brother in a while. can't seem to come together. there is always a hurdle i am supposed to jump, an attitude i have to change, an aoplogy i need to make. it got to hard. sad thing is i don't really care any more.

our sisters are ok i guess. bout the same. i miss them. they miss you.

you always had a way of keeping the roads open between us. i guess we just got lazy. i know a day lies ahead where regret will flow over me, but I am so unwilling to be the door mat again.

i wonder how things would be different if you were here. would we be as close now as then? i imagine you and sitting on the front porch sippin sweet tea and talking about kids and grand kids.

i think of you from time to time. a gnawing in my gut reminds me that even after 18 years, the finality of it all still hurts.

"he was not one who went through life with out seeking you." that is what one of the preachers said that day. i guess you did. we never really talked about it much. not like now, which is all i tend to talk to every one about.

as i sit here and stare at the screen wondering what i would say if you were here...i just wanted you to know i miss you. my life is not as full with out you in it.

just wanted you to know

What the freak?

each day is pretty much the same for me. more than not it begins with several chapers in the Parchments and prayer, then an hour of news and several cups o joe.

today was backward. started with the news.

for the first time in a long while I was overcome by hopelessness and pain for the world we live in. death by tornado, bus crash, shootings, bank robbers, can some one please bury that poor sad woman?

Sheri leaves for her walk and I open the word and emotion rushes from the deep place I try and keep it locked in. tears flow over my copy of the text and I am overwhelmed at what seems to be a hopeless culture where daily life is trumped by tragic life and tragic death...especially young people.

as I try and bring in the focus to my spere, It seems even more difficult.

what is man that you would be mindful of him?

how can i lead this people?

mine enemy is on all sides seeking to hem me in.

no relief, no comfort, no easy and reassuring pat on the back.

the world is dieing. people are with out hope. children are being sacrificed and parents are turning their eyes away. darkness seems to abound. it is what it is.

but all is not lost.

Do not fear. for I have over come the world.

all is not lost.
