God gave me the gift of cobbling words together in a manner that can express universal challenges, emotions, dreads, joy and love. This album birthed out of gratitude to Him for providing me with this passion, this core-need, to write, to express, to communicate and share the commonality of this human spirit of mankind. Our tragedies and our triumphs, our fears and elations, are not unique. I simply write to remind us of what we already know.

I truly hope you’ll enjoy this special album. If you know our Lord Jesus, may these seventeen poems enrich your walk. If you don’t know Him, well they’re still stories of common human encounters in which you may find yourself.  Who knows, you may find a new Friend along the way.
