    1. Thank you so much for your kind comments. Your encouragement is precious to me - really it is! Yes, I love My Story by Big Daddy Weave!

      During my daily radiation treatements, I lived in El Paso, TX and discovered the Christian radio station, KLOVE. I would listen to it on the way to treatments and back to my hotel. It was then that I discovered so many of the songs that I now post. They encouraged me so much and filled my life with joy rather than fear. God is good - all the time! ;)
