your voice Hi Jim, I really love your music, you are truly gifted, and I'm so glad the world has embraced you so that you can completely be the artist you always wanted and were meant to be. Congratulations on 15 years of inspiring others, and being blessed to be able to spread your art out to the world for a living. Personally, I must say that I also love your singing voice so much, and on the rare occasion you sing a song, it's like finding a diamond in a pot of gold! Your songs mean that much more when you are singing them yourself, and I hope you do much more of it in the future. I'd love it if you'd do a whole album of yourself singing. Thanks for all the beauty you've brought to the world. I love you! Submitted By: Sonia

Faith CD My Husband spent the better part of 2 months with his sister in her dying days. He would play music for her at night so she could relax & sleep. Her favorite was your Faith CD. Her room in the hospital became a haven of peace for even the nurses. The last music that was playing for her was this CD, and my son noticed that at the end of "I'll Fly Away" that she was no longer breathing and indeed was flying into the arms of Jesus. May God bless you for the ministry that you have. My husband wants to buy this CD for her daughter, our son and 2 of his siblings as a testimony of her faith. Submitted By: Alice Buchanan
