Andrae Crouch (1942-2015)

A true legend in Christian music went home to be with the Lord today.

In the 1960's, Andrae Crouch's music ushered in a new approach to worship within the body of Christ, setting the stage for the modern worship movement. It also broke down racial barriers that had stood for centuries! 

Great songs like My Tribute, Through it All and The Blood Will Never Lose it's Power made an indelible impression on my faith as a young child. 

We will miss his contribution to our services and celebrations for now, but I have little doubt we'll all join with one voice and sing those songs in that heavenly city one day soon and very soon!

Birthday Girl

Just got back home from this little girl's birthday party! She is Kennedy Lane Davidson, my Great Niece. My sister Holane's first grandchild. She has stolen our hearts! Donna keeps her on Thursdays and most Thursdays I don't make it to work on time. I think you can see why! She turned one yesterday and in just twelve months has managed to completely wrap us all around her little finger! So thankful for her and proud for my nephew Jeremy and his wife Stephanie!
