Doxology: A liturgical formula of praise to God.
Docsology: A doctor merging medical science and stories in praise to God.
As a Christian physician, I believe that medical storytelling can clearly and powerfully illustrate spiritual realities. Docsology explores what we can learn about God from nature, especially in the intricacies of the human body, and how the stories of suffering people reveal God’s character and love.
– Dr. Bill Maynard

An Eyewitness Account
But it was not blind faith that had led us there. When we had been unable to glean any trustworthy information from the news or the internet, we had turned to calling people we knew.

The fake noise would be like the “phantom limb pain” that plagues some people with amputations. Despite the removal of a limb, these patients unmistakably still “feel” one, and may be tortured by pain, such as the burning of toes that are not really there.
Mixed Messages, Part 2
Then, as I beseeched God, something wonderful happened. Like a warm blanket of tranquility, a comforting peace settled over me. But that night on call I created a god in my own image, who naturally happened to have the same priorities as I did.

Living Vows
Living Vows
I am posting this song for my lovely wife, Faye, in honor of our 32nd anniversary, which is June 23, 2022.
Imitating a wonderful tradition passed on to us by her parents, we repeat our vows every year. I wrote this song to honor and reinforce that tradition and to celebrate our marriage!
The idea is that just as our unity and love grow each year, so our understanding of the vows deepens, so that truly the vows are alive, maturing with us. “I said that I love you, and I am affirming that again and again.” Or as the song says: “I said that I would and I will/I said that I did and I do.” And, my beautiful bride, I still do.
Sabbath of the Heart
Like a child on a Sabbath night, dreamy-eyed in the candlelight
Expectant yet restful, eager but secure.
In the timeless interplay – the sacred and the everyday
The holy yet humble, the passionate and pure.
If You Hear His Voice Today (Easter 2022)
All who sin, who grieve, or stray He still calls you today.
Do not harden your heart, believe and obey, if you hear his voice today.
