April 2002

Okay. I have heard your cry. I know that I have been lax in starting this section of the website so please forgive me. My dear friend Stan (who blesses me with Web lessons and keeps everything looking nice) has enjoyed the break but I guess it's time for me to get busy filling you in on the latest happenings.

As most of you know, I am in the final stages of completing the second project which is called "No Judgments". It has been a wonderful ride down the road of notes and lyrics. I have several thoughts to share with you concerning the project but I'll save those for later. For now, let me just say that I am happy with how things are going and can't wait for you to ponder over the songs with me.

I finished a one year counseling class last month that really rocked my world. I realized that no matter how much we are learning or accomplishing in life, there is always so much more to learn. And we will never be as wise or loving as God, which we already know but sometimes seem to forget. I took the class to learn how to help others in a more profound way but ended up overcoming certain obstacles in my own life that have always seemed to get in the way of loving people to the fullest potential.

I am looking forward to school being out for my kids. I don't know about you but I am just about out of ideas for the lunch box. And if I have to help with much more homework, I might as well go back to college and get a degree for myself. We are spending our spring on the bleachers at every baseball field in the city. The kids are having a great time so who can complain. I've become a pro at shelling sunflower seeds with my teeth. It's not the most lady-like thing but it passes the time and keeps me from biting my nails.

Keep me in your prayers as I work on the completion of the music project and get ready to head to Nashville for the mastering. When I get back, I really want to venture out and share this music wherever the Lord desires. For someone like me, that will take a great dose of courage. Not to mention faith.

Thanks for all your e-mails. They encourage me tremendously and show me that everybody makes a difference in somebody's life. Bridges are better than walls.
