  • The Most Basic Prayer


    If the only prayer you said
    in your whole life
    was
    "Thank You,"
    that would suffice.

  • Best Feeling

    Number of comments: 2
    A good groove deserves a good song. Here's SCI and Keller Williams doing "Best Feeling" at Rothbury this past summer. The video's not the best. May make you dizzy. But the audio and jam are incredible. So, if need be, sit back, close your eyes, turn the volume up, and [...]

  • The Best Remedy

    Number of comments: 1

    The best remedy
    for those who are
    afraid, lonely, or unhappy
    is to go outside,
    somewhere where they can be quiet,
    alone with the heavens, nature, and God.

    Because only then does one feel that
    all is as it should be.
