Legalese



MY MUSIC WAS FREE

For several years, I have given my music away for free. That's right - not one cent. I have been met with resistance from the "pay folks" and have been the indirect subject of how free music isn't really appreciated yadda yadda. As I have and will continue to maintain my music is my way of paying it forward. Because the Lord has blessed me with the talents and I really have no desire to make any money from my music, I have wrestled with how I can feel better about what I do and dismiss the critics. And let me say, I have no problems with those who do sell their music - just their communication on why they think that pay music is superior to free music.

So, effective immediately my music will have a cost. The format is quite simple:

If you use my music in any performance, I would request you make a donation to either the general missionary or humanitarian fund of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I don't care if you contribute $5.00 or $.05. It's just a way to further the work of the Lord by you paying it forward. Think of the good you can do for a struggling missionary or refugee seeking refuge and safety. The scripture, "...if ye have done it unto the least of these, ye have done it unto me" comes very clearly into my head.

I don't need or want to know of your contribution - that is up to you. My website will be updated with this information. I hope you find favor with this new method and pray the Lords choicest blessings on you as you reach out to His children.

All Things Testify of Him

MP3 - All Things Testify of Him
PDF - All Things Testify of Him

Thanks once again to Dixie Lea Henrie for the beautiful lyrics to go with this song. This is appropriate for Young Men/Young Women to sing. The words reflect Moses 6:63. If you do perform this, I would appreciate a note and even better if you can get an audio recording of the performance and send it to me that would be so appreciated.

The beauty of a setting sun, a newborn baby's birth, 
A blade of grass, the azure sky, all creatures on the earth. 
The flowers open to the sun, the oceans roll ashore, 
For evidence of heavens touch, I could not ever ask for more. 

When I awake to each new day I say a little prayer, 
Of gratitude for all I see, the beauty everywhere. 
Our Father made the universe for all who dwell within, 
My heart and mind convey to me that all things testify of Him.
