Destroy the authority that establishes chaos.
At this time, I am involved in several different projects, including:
~HYPNOGOG (w/Scott Reed, Russ Detko, Keith Cordial, & an on going & long going studio cast of many), wherein I play lead guitar & sing (also sometimes play bass or drums) in this improvisational jam/groove/riff-rock band.
~SWEET CICADA (solo project), a cosmic doom/stoner riff-rock/metal studio solo project I do with whomever is available to track drum parts (sometimes it's me)...
~AHAVAH is a new solo acoustic guitar based project coming up that's unlike anything I have yet done...
~IN PASSIONATE PURSUIT (w/Gary Dean, Nathanael Dean, Russell Hodges & Rusty (or Charlie) Hatcher) is a rock worship band in which I play live guitar (or bass, whichever is needed) & sing in...
~LIVELY SOUND STUDIO is where I have recorded tons of artists, and track to analog tape because it's worth the extra trouble... I teach guitar & bass, do live audio tech work, work on stringed instruments...
~On a more personal note, I have many and various fields of study and involvement, including graphic art, radio/tv communications, guitar, theology, psychology, and am soon to enter the medical field. I believe in divine eternal truths and the unquenchable power of love. If selfless love became our motivation for all we think and do this world would be a VERY different place, wouldn't it?..

So why am I sitting here typing, when I could be creating some?
If I speak in the tongues of men and angels,
but have not love,
I have become sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal.
And if I have prophecy and know all mysteries and all knowledge,
and if I have all faith so as to remove mountains,
but have not love, I am NOTHING.
And if I dole out all my goods, and
if I deliver my body to the fire that I may boast
but have not love, nothing I am profited.
Love is LONG SUFFERING,
love is KIND,
it is NOT JEALOUS,
love does not boast,
it is not inflated.
It is NOT DISCOURTEOUS,
it is NOT SELFISH,
it is NOT IRRITABLE,
it DOES NOT ENUMERATE THE EVIL.
It does not rejoice over the wrong, but REJOICES IN THE TRUTH.
It covers all things,
it has faith for all things,
it hopes in all things,
it ENDURES in ALL things.
Love NEVER FALLS IN RUINS;
but where there are prophecies, they will be abolished;
or tongues, they will cease;
or knowledge, it will be superseded.
For we know in part and we prophecy in part.
But when the perfect comes, the imperfect will be superseded.
When I was an infant,
I spoke as an infant,
I reckoned as an infant;
when I became an adult,
I abolished the things of the infant.
For now we see through a mirror in an enigma,
but then face to face.
Now I know in part,
but then I shall know as also I was fully known.
But now remains
faith, hope, love; these three,
BUT THE GREATEST OF THESE IS LOVE (AHAVAH).
