When they put me in the box…
…make sure they play this song by Emmylou Harris:
When I go don’t cry for me
In my fathers arms I’ll be
The wounds this world left on my soul
Will all be healed and I’ll be whole
Sun and moon will be replaced
With the light of Jesus’ face
And I will not be ashamed
For my savior knows my name
It don’t matter where you bury me
I’ll be home and I’ll be free
It don’t matter where I lay
All my tears be washed away
Gold and silver blind the eye
Temporary riches lie
Come and eat from heaven’s store
Come and drink and thirst no more
So weep not for me my friend
When my time below does end
For my life belongs to him
Who will raise the dead again
It don’t matter where you bury me
I’ll be home and I’ll be free
It don’t matter where I lay
All my tears be washed away
(Lyrics by Julie Miller, from Emmylou’s haunting album “Wrecking Ball”)
“Gold and silver blind the eye
Temporary riches lie”
Just wondering if you’re going to give up all that AdWords stuff and become a full-time preacher.
I already am a full time preacher. Just very much in disguise.
Amen to you being an incognito preacher! I have to say, I don’t think you’d have 1/4 the influence if you weren’t so stealthy.

RE: “Gold and silver blind the eye
Temporary riches lie”
This speaks of the big difference between trying to…
“Earn A Living” v. “Make A Killing”…
Working Men&Women Do “deserve payment”…
However–Too Often Our Economy Pays MILLION$ To A Handful of Its “ROCK STAR$”…which–in turn–baits millions of GenNEXT To Follow THESE Paths…
And The Skilled & Faithful & Dedicated Work That IS REQUIRED To Make The Rock Star ‘Magic’ Happen…The Work of The Various Types&Stripes of Engineers…THIS WORK WASN’T HARDLY GIVEN A SECOND THOUGHT…nor paid more than a pittance…
And THEN–
We Sit & Scratch Our Heads…
Trying To Figure OUT Just What Went WRONG–
EVERY TIME THE “TOTALLY OVER THE TOP” Economy IS FIRST–HYPER-INFLATED–
TO THE POINT of ITS–BIG BURST…
Followed By Its…Collapsing IN A Heap…
Anyway–
It’s True…
We DO Often Start Off On “Our Careers” Working INSANE HOURS Because We’ve Been Told That–THIS IS WHAT IT’S GONNA TAKE TO “MAKE IT” & BE A “BIG STAR” & “Someone Who IS OUTSTANDING in Your Chosen Field”…
And Hopefully–Like Emmylou Harris…
We Learn WHAT IS TRUE & WHAT IS THE LIE–
Before It’s Too Late To Enjoy The Rest of Our Life…
thanks, that song is really powerful. I like Carly Simon’s song, Life is Eternal.
I know you are in business and you have great stuff, but the pop up really turned me off. There has to be a better way.
You seem like a deep, sensitive and spiritual person, but when I see pop ups, I think someone is trying to offload a big load of CRAP. Your stuff does not appear to be crap, so what other way is there besides pop up ads??
I really enjoy the stuff you send me and appreciate your comments regarding spiritual things.

Sorry about the popup. They work really well on certain parts of the site but we don’t have the formula quite right yet. Still tweakin’
Beautiful
She does the song justice
Thanks Perry. A touching reminder of what really matters. That was a bright spark of joy and spiritual perspective for me, in a busy week. I appreciate you being real enough to share your journey with us.
Great song. We have victory over death with Jesus. John 3:18
Thanks for that , a great song.
sometimes a song will reach out and punch you in the gut when you least expect it.
does anyone know the names of the other players, particularly the bass
A lovely thought, Perry.
I agree that gold and silver can blind the eye with material value.
But if you look beyond and look only to the beauty of what surrounds you, then you will find something of beauty everywhere. Here, or anywhere.
