all mp3 downloadable songs priced: $0.99My daughter, Elena, helped me finish a song that we called 'Son of the Living God' back in 2011. She was eight. I was stuck on the second verse and we had been studying John 3:16-17. Which states:
16 “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.
I decided to renamed it 'You Are the One'. Here are the lyrics. I hope to record it soon, at least a demo.....
You Are the One
Verse 1:
You are the One,
There is no other,
Where else can we go?
Your words are truth,
Your words are power
Lead to eternal life…..
Chorus:
Jesus, Messiah, relentless in Your love.
Redeemer, Deliverer, You are the Christ,
The Son of the Living God,
Son of the Living God.
Verse 2:
And so You came, not to condemn us
But to show us the Father’s heart.
A heart of love, mercy and grace
Pursuing at all cost!
Bridge:
You have the words of life
(Where else can we go?)
You have the words of life
(Where else can we go?)
You have the words of life
(Show us the Father’s heart)

all mp3 downloadable songs priced: $0.99I had the privilege to sing at a friend's funeral today. Jim Knight and were next-door neighbors and best friends in high school. He loved life and it showed in his delightful attitude. He was always smiling. He loved his children well and it was a joy to hear how they loved him, but more how they love Jesus. I pray my 6 and 8 year olds display the legacy that Jim's (and Scarlet's) children do when they are grown.
I sang these three songs:
Lead Me to the Cross
Trust
10,000 Reasons (Bless the Lord)
Check him out.

Wow! What an amazing trip the team of 18 journeyed on two weeks ago. I signed up in August to go along on a mission trip to Honduras with Forest Park Community Church, (my home church) located in Louisville, KY. After many meetings and fund raisers, we set out on February 18, 2012. Most of us journeyed with American Airlines through Miami, Florida. Three of our team members were to take a different flight with Continental via Houston, Texas. Our flight was uneventful.... except for the AMAZING landing in Tegucigalpa. We met Terry Dupont, founder of Open Eyes Ministries of Central America. We hoped on a renuvated old school bus and traveled about and hour and a half to our home for a week in Comayagua.
The next day, Sunday, we had two services at two different churches. Usually, someone from our team will give a testimony followed by some singing by yours truly and a couple of other folks from our team, then we have someone from our team preach. Always following the sermon is an intense time of the call to repent and surrender to Christ. Many people came to know the Lord at these times. This was then followed by a time of healing where we would ask anyone wanting prayer to come down and we would lay hands on them and ask the Father of Glory to meet them where they were.
Our team originally set out to be a medical mission trip, but because we had no doctors and only one nurse sign up to go, Open Eyes changed our week to that of Evangelism. So, everyday, our team would go to a certain area of Comayagua and work with a church for that day. (This is the same Comayagua where the prison fire was just days prior to our trip.) Our North American team would split up into three, four or five groups each hooking up with a translator that works for Open Eyes. We would then go to an area near the 'church of the day' and meet up with the leadership of that church. We would then start walking the streets knocking on doors. Each group would have a translator, a leader of the church and our team members going door to door sharing our story of how Christ intercepted our lives....and how he wants to do the same for them.
Almost no one was ever turned away by the wonderfully hospitable Honduras people. By the end of the week, from the door-to-door exploits, the school meetings, and all the church meetings we know of at least 175 people who asked Christ to be their Lord and Savior. With churches who would be there to help these new believers began to grow in their walk with Christ! It is just a wonderful experience partnering with Open Eyes Ministries because we know these new brothers and sisters in Christ will be mentored and discipled. ALL praise belongs to Jesus.
I have been so encourage to share my own story as a result of this trip. I would also like to encourage you (whoever you are reading this little blog) to tell your story. Just tell others how Jesus changed your life. INVITE them to embrace the Truth of the gospel that He wants a relationship with them. Why God desires that relationship so much that He would send Christ to pay for our sins is beyond my understanding......BUT HE DID! Just share your story…with your neighbor, your grocer, your doctors and most of all with your family. 175 people decided to Trust their souls to their Creator that week in Honduras. Awesome!

song: Strange and Wonderful
all mp3 downloadable songs priced: $0.99Forest Park Community Church in Louisville, KY is sending a mission team to Comayagua, Honduras tomorrow morning. A team of 18 will embark early on February 18th and arrive in the early afternoon. Find the latest trip news here.
I can only believe the Lord God Almighty, in His amazing foreknowledge has been preparing our team to go at such a time as this. Comayagua has been in the news due to a huge prison fire that killed over 350 (and still counting). Our church has suffered the loss of two wonderful young men in the month of December. God has prepared our hearts to help others in the midst of their suffering. 'God, grant us Your words to deliver to those in desperate pain."
Here is where we will land tomorrow afternoon! Check out this landing!

Here is a video of a young brother in Christ who grew up at our church. On December 30th, he was riding down in Durhamtown in Georgia......had a crashed and headed onto glory to be with his Savior. Dylan was a minister for the National FCA Motocross. He did more in 17 years than most do in a lifetime. He played in our praise band at times. He was an excellent violinist. He was and incredible kid. I hope and pray God raises a young man as Dylan for my two girls to marry when they grow up!
Great video of footage, some from his last day here
