On April 26, 2025, I gave a Book It talk in Basile, LA, courtesy of Jill Deville World Ministries.
This 36-minute talk describes how common ideas promoted in science influenced me toward atheism—and how, after I became a Christian, scientific concepts reinforced my trust in God.

“God in Science: Moving Beyond the Atheistic Big Bang Theory”
There are many jewels in the Christmas spirit. And finding a few satisfies the heart.This is where I found my Christmas jewels. The church was full on Christmas eve, and I sat with the love of my life about midway back. I was happy. One of my dearest jewels sat beside me!Yes, here I am with my love!Last night, though, I found some additional jewels. Two airplane pilots sat directly behind me in the pews, Monica and John. I don’t have photos of them. But, in our one meeting, we shared our stories, talking and listening to each other. Now I have two more jewels!
Let me know how many jewels you found this Christmas!
Please note that my third novel, The Horned Edge has a Christmas chapter in it. Like me, the main character Lewis is happy at the Christmas eve worship service. He suffers plenty of trouble in the rest of the book, but on this special beauteous night, he enjoys the Christmas spirit.
For only $10.99, you can buy and read The Horned Edge, a sci-fi adventure and romance book here!
The book is available in Kindle, paperback ($10.99!!!), hardback, and audiobook formats.
You can find a download of the current draft of Chapter 1 of Silence to Singing on my homepage. I was so happy with it—until yesterday. It’s fun reading, it had good reviews from my writer’s group. But I have a deeper purpose for the book which the chapter doesn’t show.
My purpose for writing Silence to Singing is to give readers hope in this time of all times. I want to show how Jesus doesn’t mind if we wrestle with questions and doubts and doctrines. Also, I want to show how God overcomes the evil one that wants to silence us.
Each person can sing a heart-lifting melody in the world, silencing the mocking demons. May this book-in-progress open your heart and help you start your song.
Are you concerned about divisiveness in our country? Do you wish you could talk to friends about politics and/or religions without arguing?
My book, HEALING AMERICA, teaches skills that help you share with others about what’s deeply important to you. Each chapter includes an explanation of concepts foundational to communication in a democracy. Not only that, but the chapters include:
a short quiz for comprehension,
a practice in using the concept, and
space to journal your experience and see the concept at work in your life.
