As this disease ravages the world, I can think of only one position to be in. Thankfulness. Gratitude. We have lost so many in the last few months. And the worst thing about all of this is fear. People are scared to touch one another. People are scared even to speak to one another. I don't know what the future holds. I know only what the word says: Matt 6:34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. Phil 4:6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. the Bible tells us not to be afraid, not to worry. So I will put all my energy into not doing so.
I will instead remember to be grateful at this time in my life. I have to thank God that no matter how many ailments attacked my body this year, I'm still here. Lost a lot of my heroes this year to that virus. A lot of us have been unable to get out and do the thing we love most - connecting with our audiences through song. That experience of live creation that makes the experience new to the performer and the audience. I miss that so much. I miss worshiping with all of you so much. But I have a solution. I'll start doing some online appearances. I have some new things to share with you that I'm excited about. I'll let you know when I get that up and running. Until then, be thankful. Stay grateful. Happy Thanksgviing!
