The Early Years |
: Went to the San Diego School of Creative and Performing Arts from 5th

: break into song and full choreography during lunch (well...not every day,
: anyway!!).

Vegetarian or Carnivore |

: eat cows, why'd he make them out of beef?"

: I'll be able to sort of play that, too!

|
Passions |
: Jesus, my husband, my kids, friends, food (order of priority subject to hunger
: level!)
|
Reason Behind CD |
: It really does not make much sense...me (a 38-year-old mother of
: two)...recording a CD.
: These songs are love songs to the Lover of my soul, who has seen me through
: tremendous highs and lows over the last several years.
: I never really thought they would have a purpose beyond my own little alter of
: remembrance. But God made it pretty clear recently that it was time to share.
: Maybe it's primarily for my close friends and family who have lived through
: much of this with me...or perhaps to go beyond and encourage others.
: All I know is that He is faithful...His Words are true...no cliches...no
: gimmicks...just truth...just love. When I shut out the world and lock gazes with
: Him, my perspective changes...and I am overwhelmed. |
