Fine in the Fire

Jot down the first thing that comes to your mind.

I’m fine in the fire…
beside me—
a fourth man…
So go ahead—
turn it up.

“Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt. and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.” — Book of Daniel 3:25 (KJV)

The Girl in the Dream… the One Who Woke Me

…My Dream from a few nights ago

A few nights ago…
I found myself in this place…
in my sleep…

I was walking…

It was a quiet… quaint neighborhood—
that felt familiar…

Middle class…
working people…
doing much life here…

I wasn’t alone…

There was a beautiful young blonde girl—
probably around 17…

…and her two younger sisters…
maybe 12 or 13…

…and a young boy…
around 10…

I’ve never seen any of them before…

—but they knew me…

…they felt like my friends…

So I accepted them…

We all were walking along…
talking… laughing…

Life felt so easy…
so simple…

As if I had nowhere to be—
nothing else to do…

…and if I did…
whatever… or wherever…
—it could wait…

I felt younger too…
maybe 18… 20…

As the five of us slowly moved down the street…
just talking…

The older girl asked me—

“Do you know my father?”

I didn’t…

I didn’t even know her…

Then she asked—

“What kind of man do you think he is?”

So I thought for a second…

And judging by his daughter…
by her character in my dream…

I figured him for a good man—

hard working…
loved his family…

She said—

“Yes… you are correct…
he is all these things…”

Then she looked deep into my eyes…
smiled…

…gently placed her hand in mine—

just to hold… as we walked…

Then she rested her head
on my shoulder…

…and I felt something—
light…
soft…

…caressing my neck…

All of a sudden—

I snapped back…
to reality—

I thought of my girlfriend…

My real one…
in real life…

I could see her face in my mind…

I felt my love for her—
she filled me…

I felt so bad…

Like I was doing something wrong—
with this other girl… even in a dream…

I tried to free myself…
pull my hand away—

…but it wasn’t that easy…

I started to panic…
just a little…

And then—

I woke up…

Thinking about my lady…

—My real one 😎’`

Outlaw Roots — The Hank Jr. Legacy (Week 15)

Living Proof 🎶 Orange Blossom Special

In case you’re unfamiliar…

Hank Williams Jr. was born the son of the one and only
Hank Williams—

a superstar who died in his prime at 29…
cardiac arrest… most likely brought on
by a mixture of drugs and alcohol.

Hank Jr. was just 3 years old.

From that point on—
his life was already decided for him.

His mother began shaping him
to take his father’s place—

thrown on stage as a kid…
dressed like him…
singin’ his songs…

not as himself—
but as a reflection.

And the older he got—
the more he hated it.

He didn’t want to be his daddy…

he wanted to be himself.

To write his own songs—
sing his own truth—
step out of a shadow
that wasn’t his to carry.

But they told him—

no one wants to hear that.

Still—

he didn’t quit.

And eventually…

he broke free.

Today I have two deep cuts for you—

🎵 Living Proof — Living Proof (1974)
🎵 Orange Blossom Special — Man of Steel (1983)

Hope yall enjoy… have a great weekend too.

Hidden Gems from the B-Side — ⛽️ Fuel (Week 23)

Innocent 🎵 Daniel (Elton John cover)

So today is Fuel again…

—but I’m not really here to talk about them.

We’ll let the music handle that.

I want to talk about Elton John.

When I was a kid…
I wore Superman underwear—
’cause he was my hero… 🦸‍♂️

Then I got older—
and found out Superman wears Chuck Norris underwear 😄

But here’s one most people don’t know…

Many of your favorite artists—
across every genre—

they’re secretly wearing Elton John underwear.

I’ve been a fan of Elton since I first picked up a guitar as a teenager…
and over time—I started noticing something…

the greats…
they all love him too.

I saw an interview with Axl Rose once—
they asked what he listens to…
no pause— he says “Elton John.”

Then one night… I was watching one of the late night shows…
I believe it was Letterman…

Dave Grohl walks out solo with an acoustic guitar…

starts playing “Tiny Dancer”…
He gets the audience to sing along…

one of those moments you don’t forget.

And later… I found out Dave Grohl loves him some Elton.

So I started paying attention…
and it’s everywhere. Across all genres… many have Elton in common.

His music is loved… admired… and listened to by his peers…

Fuel’s no different.
Brett and Carl… they feel the same.

Elton… bruh… you’re the man! 🙌…

So today—

I’ve got two for you.

🎵 Innocent
Something Like Human — 2oO0

🎵 Daniel (Elton John cover)
Something Like Human — 2oO0

I love this cover of Daniel… it’s great…
and it holds a deep place for me… I sang it on my guitar earlier tonight

But back in 2o12… I was hanging out with my friend Nathan…
We were roommates… he was younger than me… like my little brother…
so anyway… this song started playing…

Nathan told me how much it meant to him…
said it reminded him of his older brother, Daniel…
who had passed a few years earlier from a drug overdose…

Well… in 2o14… I lost Nathan…
also to drugs…

I knew his brother too…

So now… when I hear this song…
I don’t just hear it—

I remember them both…

Also “Innocent” is one of my all-time favorite songs…
I’m not sure what it is about it… but it just gets better and better every time for me…
and I love when the drums kick in around the 1-minute mark…

Also I’ve included a bonus interview with Carl & Brett…
it’s really cool… I think…

Thanks for the love—
hope you enjoy 🎸`

Hot Browns & Holy Ground

What is your favorite restaurant?

An Atlanta Chick-fil-A Story…

Growing up in Atlanta… if word got out that I answered this prompt with anything other than Chick-fil-A… I’d probably get ostracized, kicked out of church, and have my house egged in the night by a pastor dressed like a ninja…

So yeah… let’s keep the chicken-lovin’ Bible Belt Army happy-happy, as Phil from Duck Dynasty would say…

Seriously though… it’s a freakin’ amazin’ place for fast eats.
Chick-fil-A was born here in Atlanta… started by Truett Cathy… a legend in these parts. A great Christian man… a man who really cared about his employees and his customers… he built his business on biblical principles… a man who was always closed on Sunday.

I’ve even got a personal story tied to him.

My ex-girlfriend’s grandmother owned and ran a newspaper here in Atlanta for many years called The Southside Insider. She was friends with Mr. Cathy… and he actually sold her the building for that newspaper for $1. I always thought that was pretty cool.

I never got to meet him… I almost did. Missed him a few times in passing… but I’ve been blessed to hear many stories about him.

So from its humble beginnings here in my city… Chick-fil-A is now everywhere. But it’s different here in Atlanta. Different than anywhere else.

Here… we’ve got the Dwarf Houses and Truett’s Grill.

If yall can fit through the door… then by all means… come on in and have a seat 😎

These places aren’t just fast food joints… they feel like actual restaurants. You can sit down… be waited on… and get menu items folks in other places have probably never even heard of.

One of them is found only at the Dwarf Houses and Truett’s Grill…

Ladies and gentlemen… I present to you… The Hot Brown.

Man…

Let me describe this thing!

It’s like a casserole-style dish with white meat chicken in a rich cream-style gravy like thick sauce… but it’s not a gravy, really, I don’t think… and it’s covered in melted cheddar… topped with strips of bacon… and served with toast.

You’re just gonna have to trust me on this one.

I wouldn’t lie to you.
my taste buds are elite.

I wish I had one right now.

And their sweet iced tea? elite too.

When I’m not goin’ with the Hot Brown… my next favorite is the spicy chicken sandwich with pepper jack and waffle fries. The mac ’n’ cheese is worth fightin’ for… and the cheesecake is straight-up badass.

So if you’re ever in the Atlanta area… now you know what you need to do.

I might just see you there.

Lunch is on me.

And in me.

Bawk! 🐔…

Canary Yellow Night

Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

Sittin’ beside my one-of-a-kind wife
in a Canary Yellow 1973 Volkswagen Super Beetle—
at a drive-in…

eatin’ popcorn…
watchin’ Creature From The Black Lagoon…

hopefully it’s in effin’ color…
—or close enough.

but I’m goin’ to be too busy stealin’ kisses…
watchin’ the movie flicker in her eyes.

Hidden Gems from the B-Side — Matthew West (Week 22)

I Know You’re There 🎵 Nothing Else
History (2oO5)

Well, I think I’m overthinking this whole thing… About believing… in something I cannot see
‘Cause when I think about it
I think there’s no doubt about it
I do it every single day
Well, it’s just like the air
No one knows where it comes or where it goes
But when I breathe in I believe again and again

And if they say there’s no such thing
As Heaven or a God who waits for me
I just point to the air
And I know You’re there.

Hope yall enjoy the music and the message and have a blessed Sunday…

📖 Romans 1:20 (NIV)

“For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—His eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.”
