Here’s a song gone astray on my recording equipment.
Hope you enjoy this song I’d written at a different period in my walk with God.
Though, not much has changed with regard to loving my King. 🙂
“You Are”

Hey there Whirlwind Fans!
Here’s another for the Music Gallery:
I threw a little Chaos over “The Valley”.
Hope you enjoy this song given as part of a prophecy which did come to pass just as spoken and written.
The peace and love of God be with you.

Yes, a song of encouragement for these troubled times.
But more than that… “Hold On” offers a voice that we might cry out!
Some things we just need to say; and say it out loud, before we can let go and move on.
What is “IT”?
That’s for you to decide.
Because “IT,” today, may not be “IT,” for tomorrow. Â Today it is possibly COVID-19 and no job or not enough money because your business is falling apart.
Tomorrow, “IT” could be a lack of feeling right with your Creator.
A few tomorrows from now it may be a society gone mad WITH the Mark of the Beast literally manifesting in OUR world.
With Christians IGNORING God’s Word and no longer able to live in their cities and homes and general communities.
So whether your “IT” is your walk with God or more mundane issues…
“HOLD ON,” because God has your back as His servant, the Servants of the Living God, Jesus Christ, our Savior.

As simple and bee-boppie as this song tends to be… I thought “Salvation Bound” would only appeal to children. Â Gratefully, I was wrong.
One of the coolest things I like about the song “Salvation Bound” is the fact “Salvation Bound” is loved by children around the world.
Try it! Put this song on and watch your little ones dance across the room.
Add to this fun fact, I have also received no less than six testimonials detailing how some people’s children refuse to go to sleep until they listen to “Salvation Bound” JUST one more time (Mommy and Daddy).
Oh yeah, and my wife, Pam, is singing on this, our first CD and title song, too.
And I can’t forget the sweet natured vocalist, Cindy Aquilino, from Tucson, Arizona.
We hope “Salvation Bound” brings as much joy to your life and the lives of your children as it has to us and our children.
Enjoy and sing along!

Level 2 Memory Verse:
Even when God has shined a great Light into your life and you have lived your life faithfully for Jesus… sadly, you cannot hand that relationship or faithfulness or salvation to another person.
We can bring them to the River-of-Life – But they must drink for themselves.
It is God who calls us. (John 15:16; Acts 2:39)
Individually we must answer.
Blessed be the name of the Lord, Jesus Christ!
“You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you (John 15:16).

Hi Whirlwind Fans!
Just thought I’d drop this LOVE song into the mix of SH Music.
I wrote this song for my Sweetheart many years ago.
She was my sweetheart then and she is still my sweetheart 54 years later.
We’ve been married since June of 1978 and have no plans on changing that statis until “death do us part”.
So, here’s our song, “My Reason for Living.”

Sometimes life falls apart around us.
It’s good to know God has your back!
We don’t often know what God is doing –
or where He is taking us,
but we know we can trust Him.

Anyone who has spent time walking with God knows it is not always simple – on our side of the fence.
We trust, we doubt, we fail, we succeed and sometimes all at the same time.
Knowing yourself – way down deep where the moss grows – is not a single step in life but the journey in one.
Here’s a poem written near the end of 2013.
Though vague, it is… you may see a portion of your life’s snuggle in the rhyme?
Far and deep my eyes are trained
Though not on flora, fauna or mountain’s terrain
As if, lake of glass – double paned
Distant reflection whose figures appear inane.
⸎
Lost in thought, beyond most deep
Know not what answers my heart doth seek
Seems the deeper I gaze – the shallower my perceptions
From whence I began? – why ask such reflections?
Still, here am I, just I, just me.
⸎
Way down deep in this loch is seen
Visage mocks – no answer glean
Just one long breath – beneath the water’s plane
Glass like waters – double pained.
⸎
Most cold the glass – both shallow and deep
Elusive peace – Seaport’s Keep
Reflections seen – of cloud filled skies
Murky damp – Life keeps drifting bye.

I know the passage in, James 1:22-24 relates to us being – be doers of God’s Word and not just someone who hears and does not apply the message – BUT – that is not the take-away I’m offering in this poem.
Rather, notice the concept suggested in verse 23… the mirror.
We all have one of those mirrors.
Use yours wisely for the days of our lives are numbered and few.
Be blessed and have a great day in your – Reflections.

I will never forget the day I wrote this song. What a joy of joys filled my soul.
Should I pray you feel that touch from God at only half the strength I experienced His touch…
Then you will remember the love of the Lord brushing your soul.
Be blessed! Enjoy! Rejoice in the love of your Savior with me.

Happiness is a walk with our Creator
WHEN we know we are in the center of His will.
No better place to be.
