NOT I, BUT CHRIST

About Me

I have been very blessed to have worked, and continue to work with the most humble people in the music industry today. Since the age of 14 when I competed in my first talent contest in a mall in San Antonio, Texas, then traveling with my band all over Texas. Moved to Nashville in '83, . Demo singer from 1983-86 (Common Ground Music) (MCA), and was chosen via an audition to be on TNN's first talent show called "You Can Be a Star". Grammy nominated 2001-2007 in the Children's Music Category for Little House of Music (J. Aaron Brown Publishing, Nashville, TN) collaboration with Georgia Lucking-Germond. Other music compositions published with Warner/Chappell Music and Jan Crutchfield Music, Nashville, TN. In 2006 Worship CD "What About Him" produced by Alan Shacklock (produced Jeff Beck, Roger Daltrey, Meatloaf, Phil Keaggy, and the list goes on an on...google him!) and might I mention, the most humble gentleman!Whether we are playing in a bar, in a chapel worship service, or with our friends, being a 'cool drink of water' to those who are thirsty, to wash each other's feet--the 'vision' being Christ alone! Whether we are playing old Beatle tunes, or singing Tammy Wynette songs, to touch the hearts in love means so much! Most of us are seasoned veterans in the music/entertainment arena...we believe that the youth need 'mamas and papas of faith' to love 'em--no matter what! Plain and simple, there is only ONE STAR, and His name is Jesus!

My brother and I grew up in many Texas Dance Halls "under the influence" of Bob Wills, and cutting our teeth while dancing to the "Cotton-Eyed Joe"! Also to the memory of Junior Wendel, our phenomenal steel man during our old band days...love to my brother LJ who has been such an inspiration to me over the years as a role model to those who have faced challenges.

ANOTHER COUNTRY GENTLEMAN

Today Mark and I met one of country music's legendary guitar super pickers.  The morning rush hour as hectic as it was, melted away as soon as we entered the home of Leon Rhodes.  I use to l...

IT IS CHRIST IN YOU

God is kicking my butt.  I love it when He does that, because for YEARS, I thought I knew Him better than He knows me.  HA!   I was sharing with a friend just today how much t...

FOCUSING ON OTHER VESSELS STATUS (RATHER THAN THE TREASURE)

Christianity's problem of not daily identifying as an earthen vessel is not confined to our view of ourselves alone.  It also affects how we view (or don't view) other members of the Body of Chri...

LOOK IN YOUR COFFEE CUP...

As a vessel, you can serve only what is in you, for a vessel is different from its contents.  Vessels serve and exist for what they deliver and are worthless if they do not deliver their con...

It's amazing how the Lord connects us at the heart level.  I am thankful that the Lord brought Mark to me.  There is depth in this marriage--a depth that I am only beginning to 'see'.&n...

THE WEAKNESS OF MAN AND THE POWER OF GOD

Our first responsibility to God is to His life within and not to His work without.  Take Paul and Apollos as an example.  Both men were ministers of the Word of God.  The Corinthian chu...

THE APPEARANCE OF BROKENESS

A broken vessel is not necessarily one that appears humble and contrite.  Such an appearance could actually be pride in disguise.  We may carry ourselves in a broken demeanor, but we must as...

SATAN FIGHTS THIS GOSPEL

Note Paul's reference to Satan in II Corinthians 4:4 and where exactly he directs his tactics.  It is not against the presentation of a saving message that Satan deploys his weapons, but against ...
