Welcome back. You belong here. This is part 1 of 3 where I want to go over the spiritual awakening that’s been happening in my life over the past 3 years. It’s culminated with my current situation where I’m looking for work, but that’s only helped things become more clear.  The three areas where God […]

Welcome back. You belong here. The other day I was reading about the Advent season which starts today. Advent means “coming, arrival” from the Greek word “paraousia” and it describes the waiting for Jesus’ birth and ultimately his return.  We are all used to waiting, waiting in line, waiting in traffic, waiting for a job

Welcome back. You belong here. The other day I was talking to my therapist and she said, “good options, now commit”. That’s my word for 2014, COMMIT. Commit to a place, commit to action, commit to a vision, commit to others. What are your words for 2014?  Thanks for being here, Trig

1. I wrote the title track “How Do You Feel” in Colorado during a time when I wondered if those closest to me would pick me up if I fell apart. Ever wonder who would be there if you really needed help? If people would still be there even when you deal with the same stuff

Welcome back. You belong here. Lately I’ve been realizing how I affect our family, either positively or negatively. When I’m stressed, upset or quiet, my wife feels it, our children see it and they get quiet or hold in their own emotions. There’s no communication, no openness, no sharing of ideas or dreaming of the
