Since I'm really not a singer, I guess I sound like a songwriter interpreting his song the best I can, but I realize there are some mighty fine singers out there who could do them more justice than I can. My music is mainly acoustic with deeper lyrics than some writers.

Who am I? Well, I'm "not" the Casting Crowns' song, but I am a songwriter who sings. I've been writing for over 30 years now, but I teach English to pay the bills. I love my job but can't seem to get rid of the music in my system. The Lord inpires me so much sometimes that I can write ten to twelve songs in a month without blinking. I am not interested in becoming an artist who tours the countryside at this point in my life, but I do enjoy the creative process very much! What have I accomplished in my life? Well, my most major musical accomplishment was winning my category and going on to the finals of the GMA Songwriting Competition in 1995 with a song I wrote called "Daddy, Where's the Lamb?" I was presented with my humble award by Cindy Morgan, whose writing I have admired for years, and I had many doors open up for me as a result. I got to work with Cindy Wilt at Benson Records when I moved to Nashville, but because my wife at the time was still living in Ohio teaching, I grew homesick and left the music business to teach full-time. If you want to hear some of what I write, you can go to www.ourstage.com. Log in as a fan and search for Don M. King (songwriter) My mission is simple: I want to reach a wider audience with the inspiration the Lord is sharing with me now. I write songs about real life and struggles and not having all the answers among many other topics. Have a blessed life! By the way, I guess all my MP3 files are too big for this website, so you'll have to go to ourstage.com to listen. Sorry...:(

What's the first thing...

Just wondering what some of you might like to ask God the first time that you see Him face to face.
So, what's the FIRST thing you're going to ask God when you meet Him? Here's mine:
Me: How did I do?
God: Well done thy good and faithful servant...

Some days we can conquer the world...

Some days we can conquer the world...other days we're not so strong. How easy is it to forget that the Scripture says, "I can do all things THROUGH CHRIST who gives me strength." Sometimes I find myself trying to do all things "without" Him, and that...

Gossip can hurt...a lot.

I capture a different perspective on gossip teaching 13-15 year olds every year. I see first-hand the damage it can cause. This song is for anyone who's ever been hurt by it before.

What do you say when someone wants an answer for the terrible thing that happened to them or to someone they know? "...sometimes just silence wins out."

Well...fellow shoutlifers...I can tell it's definitely Friday. So many on here are probably singing their hearts out somewhere special, somewhere God really wants them to be. I think we need to really support these artists with our prayers, and I mea...
