Hi Pastor John,
I am living my dream. Being able to live in peace and the love of the holy Ghost with others of the same mind is a precious gift from God. My childhood and young adult life had little love or peace in it. The paths that others walked before me has given me a great opportunity to finish my life with real peace and real love.
I love playing music with others whom God uses. I believe some of my biggest blessings is not only to feel the love of God through our music but also to see it bless so many others. I remember being healed of a condition in my throat that I had for six months when I listened to Darren’s song, Heart of Gold . . . and also was healed at the beach (as you know) when Darren sang, “Go On With Me”. I have been touched so deeply by the love of God through Donna, Brother Gary, and you so many times. Now, I pray that God touches our young musicians with the same desire to play for others; if the Christmas recital was indication, then I know the next generation after us will be touched by them, too. No telling what God has in store for them that love Him and his Son.
I am so very thankful for what God has done for me through you and the love for the Truth that you, Bro. Earl, Sis. Betty, and others have had over the years. My prayer is, “Jesus, do I have enough love for you to light the way for others behind me?” Oh, may God grant that prayer!
Thank you, brother John!!
Billy
