My Journey and Mission

One day in my 15th consecutive sober year the Holy Spirit prompted me to create this website, simply to tell my story in prayer and song. I sincerely pray that my story told in both words and original songs, may assist someone needing recovery from addiction(s), a stronger faith-based life, inspiration for song writing, or all of these. Please note that all the songs contained within are original, and recorded in a simple bedroom on a relatively small recording box. If these thoughts and songs catch you, and you might be capable of assisting me with the enhancement and re-recording of all this, in your studio with your (or your band's) musical accompaniment, please reach out.

About

My personal testimony — an (eternal) life saving journey from addiction and shameful doubt to sobriety, faith, and gratitude.

What We Offer to Addicts

In this section we share some of the most positive advice we offer to struggling new friends — challenged but willing to run away from their life of addiction, and towards the amazing gift of total sobriety and enduring faith.

Why MyEmptyPrayer?

The story behind the name and the signature song that spawned this website.

Music

Numerous original songs received from the Holy Spirit — each one a chapter in my story. The Holy Spirit wanted me to hear these words, wanted me to sing these songs (to myself first), then share them with anyone with a similar life story.

Song to an Angel

The full, expanded story behind Song #3 (Song to an Angel) — a night in the hospital and its chapel that changed everything for this lost and skeptical wandering soul.

My Other Mission

A personal calling to help others find a similar recovery path - the too often inhibiting cost of rehab and how you might make a difference saving lives.

Weekly Blog

Each week I share a new reflection — a Coinci-God, a faith lesson, a word of encouragement for those in recovery. Come back often. The Holy Spirit keeps showing up.
