My two verse, solo instrumental of an early American folk melody. It is most famously set to the text of the hymn "Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing," written by English Pastor, Robert Robinson in 1757.

Democrats are focusing on military veteran candidates for 2026 to counter a traditional GOP stronghold. With 55% of voters more likely to support a candidate with military service, VoteVets is recruiting veterans, and recent victories in NJ and VA prove it's a winning formula!

Republicans hold a 53-47 majority in the Senate, but Democrats view Maine, which voted for former Vice President Kamala Harris by about 7 points in 2024, and North Carolina, which voted for Trump by about 3 points, as opportunities to flip.

🎶I’ll be homeward bound in time...
My one verse, solo instrumental of a song composed by Marta Keen Thompson in 1991. With its silent allusion to the 'prodigal son' parable in the Gospel of Luke, many church choral ensembles have presented this song. Words to the 2nd verse in reply.

Research shows that it takes around 3.5% of the population actively participating in actions to bring about transformative change. Keep going! #upupup

"With autocracies outnumbering democracies for the first time in 20 years, and only 12% of the world’s population now living in a liberal democracy, the future of the global democratic experiment may well depend on the people of the United States."

🎶Thou wilt not let me drift...
My brief instrumental of a folk tune known as "Kingsfold". It originated in Ireland during the Middle Ages. The abridged hymn lyrics (w/subtitles) that I used are from "I Feel the Winds of God Today" written in 1906 by Jessie Adams.
