There’re so many. The most memorable one, I guess, was in losing my grandbaby at 18 months old. On my last project I dedicated a song to her. It was like her speaking to me, and the song simply says, “If you could see me now, I’m walking streets of gold. If you could see me now, I’m standing tall and bold. If you could see me now you would know that I’ve seen His face, if you could only see me now.” That really encouraged me. It ministered to me, because I could hear her singing that to me, even though she was 18 months old, I saw her in her full spiritual maturity say, “Pa Pa, don’t worry about it. Hey, if you could only see me now.”

Not Exactly Gospel Music Related….Houston Funeral Directors Make a Statement
Violence is out of control in Houston. Everywhere you look something tragic is happening. The news is always filled with grim statistics that are shattering families.
The members of the Houston Funeral Directors and Morticians Association decided to make a bold statement this past Sunday evening by parading seventeen hearses down some of Houston’s highest-crime neighborhoods. There has been a disturbing increase in the number of young homicide victims over the past year and a half.
“We love our 100-year-olds, our 103-year-olds,” said Ariana Harris, a funeral director for Mabrie Memorial Mortuary in Midtown. “Those are the families we want to serve. It’s hard to see the kids.”
I hope the message got across.
Heart Health
The human heart is one of the most important muscles in the body. It beats over 100,000 times a day pumping 2,000 gallons of blood through a 60,000 mile network of vessels. To learn more about the heart and heart conditions such as Sick Sinus Syndrome visit St. Jude’s Heart Library. It’s imperative that we know as much as possible about keeping the heart healthy.
