My first visit to your blog...I really loved it. Jesus shines through! What a beautiful family you have. I enjoyed your music too. Lincoln Brewster leads the worship at a church about 30 minutes from our house. I think I may be putting his song 'Surrender' on my new music list next week. Thanks for the idea.

God Bless, Joanne
