Introduction I am a married, family (3 kids) guy who believes in seeking joy and heaven on Earth. I believe that truth is like a crystal with many facets, and we each see only one side, but when we look at other's point of view...we can see more of the truth. I believe that nearly all religions are paths to truth, mine just happens to be the Christian path. That is the path I know well. The truth, as I see it is that 1=0, Beauty is truth, All things are beautiful. Heaven on Earth is found through radical thankfulness, radical forgiveness, and the understanding that heaven comes to anyone who wants to look for it.

You've written a hit musical! How will you avoid having fame go to your head?

I've actually thought about this a lot. I am working on a hit musical right now. My wife and kids ground me constantly.
