Short description

This is a true story about wanting to be a singer. Mother sang in her church choir and it is a desire I have had for years. First, in the shower, then at a red light, and finally after mother passed in my own church. In the audition I was numb to the idea of performing in front of other people but, I finally performed in front of 300 people. NEVER give up on your dream. Now I have a CD.

Mother realized her dream and when the recording arrived. She played the cassette until it nearly wore out. But, she never gave up on her dream of singing - and eventually traded her Nashville dream for her local church. She received great delight in pleasing God!

I followed my dream of singing in our church choir but first had to audition. It went well, I was selected and scheduled to perform a Randy Travis song "Through The Fire". I never sang before and when the time approached for me to sing in front of 300 people, God led me to heights I could have never imagined.

It has been 7 years and I now perform for our Baptist Church in Bonita Springs, Florida and have recorded 7 selections - mostly Randy Travis and believe me, the applause is wonderful. But, performing for God is the ultimate reward. NEVER give up on your dream.
