    A funeral sermon for locally favorite guitarist (Idea came from Gene Packwood at: http://kiwirev.blogspot.com/2011/06/untitled.html)

    Because of all of Mike’s music making—much of it on the guitar—and to honor his memory, I thought it would be good for us to think about guitars, guitar playing and life. Guitars improve with age. The older they get the better they sound. Richer, fuller, sweeter. Lives well ...read more

    Takoma Park Baptist Church, Washington, Dc, March 25, 2000 To experience great loss is difficult enough.

    God is at Your Door. Be prepared to serve him. Be prepared to listen to him.

    Ding-dong! “Is anybody home?” What do you do when someone is at your door? It depends on who it is doesn’t it? If it’s a friend you will make your way quickly to the door to let him/her in.
