On Broken Glass

It seems every day, I hear of yet another person facing some new nightmare in their lives.  And much too often, I hear of how they have decided that the struggle is just too hard and they are giving up.  During those times in my own life when getting through each day was so hard, occassionally I would run across a song that would lift me up or speak to my heart that someone out there understood what I was feeling.  Those songs would encourage me to keep on keeping on - to put that next foot in front of the other one more time.

I believe music can minister in ways nothing else can, so I decided to record a collection of songs to help people keep on keeping on. I wanted to make sure the words were clear and encouraging.  Some of the songs on this album are ones that helped me through, some of the songs are new to me but spoke to my heart.

I may not understand all that you are facing, but I am acquainted with pain.  I am a breast cancer survivor - triple negative. That's not good.  I know the silence in the room after the birth of my son a week after he died, only to have it happen again years later with a daughter. I know that sometimes life gets very, very difficult and it's hard just to take the next breath.

I also know, however, that life is worth the living - even when it is so full of pain & uncertainty.  I want you to know that no matter how bad you feel about yourself, there is someone who holds a much different opinion of you - someone who believes you are one of the most wonderful people in their life.  I also want you to know that life can be a blessing again. Just please don't give up.
