Rodney Atkins' song "Watching You"; Jason Michael Carroll's "Alyssa Lies"; and Annie Tate, Sam Tate, and Dave Berg's song "Moments" recorded by Emerson Drive are three great examples of incredible writers who tell amazing stories that touch people. I also like the Beatles, Gino Vanelli, and (if you've ever met her you'd love her personally as much as her talent) Jennifer Holliday.

I do a great impersonation of Johnny Mathis, but for some reason, when people hear me sing, I get asked to sing Josh Groban songs at weddings, and I'm not a high tenor.
"The Cross Began To Call" reached Number 4 and is still doing well on the Christian Voice, Circuit Rider and CGC charts. Keith's previous single, "A God of Second Chances is STILL on the charts at Number 55! Congrats to Keith and to his co-writer, Clayton B. Howell. Thanks to the DJs playing Keith's music and to the fans who call and make requests!

You might remember that I had been on 80 Mg of Prednisone for about 9 months with all sorts of side effects. I also had to start 6 other medications to counter the side effects of the prednisone. I also gained quite a bit of weight and the prednisone turned all of my muscle into body fat.
I was told by one of my doctors that it was almost impossible to reverse the effects of the prednisone and would be almost impossible to build up muscle and get off the other medication with just Prayer, diet, and excercise. I had actually seen a segment of Dr. Oz on Oprah on the Omentum and how weight loss and exercise could help with kidney disease. He reluctantly consented to let me give it a try.
Well, I also decided to get a personal trainer for just 2 days a week (only an hour each time). With faith in God, hard work, and support from people who believed with me in help from God, I am happy to report that I have been able to get off almost all of my medication. I have also lost over 35 pounds and now am building up a lot of muscle mass.
I started the first week in January at 30% body fat and by March 8th, I was at 24% body fat, which means that for each percent, I had lost 4 pounds of body fat which is 24 pounds of fat in just two months. That is great, but the best thing is that I have reduced my medications and feel better than I have in five years. God continues to bless me each day!
While I was on the 80 Mg of prednisone two years ago, I lost my singing voice for almost 6 months and this was right before I went into the studio to record the first four songs for my first Gospel album. God gave me my voice back and it keeps getting stronger every day.
Miracles do happen every day! Stand in faith with God and believe that He is the power in your life!
