I think I've found out who I am and what we've been looking for. We don't have to search for my identity anymore. This is it-we're doing it!

Jesus has been in my room. He has taken my hand and told me, No, Not now. I have other things for you to do.

Im gonna be something one of these days.

On Saturdays I worked all day in Hunter Gaunt's drugstore in Winchester, and then at night, my mother drove me to Front Royal, where I sang pop tunes.

You don't appreciate home until you leave it and, let me tell you, you can't appreciate life till you've almost left it! Some people hope and die with their song still in them. I used to think that happiness resulted when my earnings matched my yearnings! But not anymore!

Im not making up my mind about anything right now. Things are happening so quickly for me, and Im still in the thinking stage.

You might say it was my return to the living that launched me as a singer. I was placed in an oxygen tent, and the doctors brought me back to life.
