There's a Trick of the Light I'm Learning to Do
This is a collection of songs I wrote and recorded in January - March, 2020 while on sabbatical from ministry. They each deal with a different aspect or expression of the Gospel. Click on the image above to listen.

Three Hands Clapping

Three Hands Clapping
This is my latest recording project (released May 27, 2019). It is a double album of 22 songs, which very roughly track the story of my life... a sort of musical autobiography, so to speak. Click the album image to listen.

Ghost Notes

A collections of original songs I wrote in 2015, and recorded with the FreeWay Musical Collective. Click the album image to listen.

inversions

inversions
Recorded in 2014, these songs are sort of a chronicle of my journey through a pastoral burn-out last winter. They deal with themes of mental-health, spiritual burn-out and depression, but also with the inexorable presence of God in the midst of darkness. Click the album art to download.

"Bridges" is a collection of original songs I wrote in the summer of 2011, during a soul-searching trip I took out to Alberta; a sort of long twilight in the dark night of the soul. I share it here in hopes these musical reflections on my own spiritual journey might be an encouragement to others: the sun does rise, blood-red but beautiful.

Random Reads

good sport

I'm not much a fan of hockey, but they say
"We we won last night."

Yesterday my son points out to me that
when the team we're cheering for wins
we tell each other, "We won."
But when the team we're cheering for doesn't,
we tell each other, "They lost."

As in: "They lost last Sunday."

Again, I'm not much a fan of hockey,
But I wonder if there isn't some ancient seed of sin in that
unnoticed tendency to include (only when we gain from it)
those we would decisively exclude
when they can't deliver.

i would say we lost, i think most real fans would. these fans can't stand the bandwagon fans, because the bandwagon fans are the ones who go home and brush it off and say "they lost". this really bothers the people who have been a part of the team's history through thick and thin.

thus, i think that your parallel runs deep.

Well put Jon...

Dale, I think you nailed this one.

and no one understands this better than a true Leaf fan... WE lost is too often our motto...
