How I Began This Journey
My first memories of going to church
include my mother practicing songs with me and praying with me, and the
preacher lifting me up on a chair behind the pulpit to sing special music about
Jesus. I have told you all this to remind
all of you Christian parents that your children’s musical training really
matters. No matter what you have or do
not have, the things that matter are not “things”. Whatever it takes, make sure that your
children receive a quality music education and that you provide them
opportunities to give their musical talents back to the God who gave them to
your children.
I
am grateful that Dr. John I. Page and his wife Virginia took me to church
fellowship meetings and to retirement communities to sing the gospel as a
little child. I was extremely blessed to
have a pastor and his wife that cared about a little boy who had some musical
talent. I am also grateful that in July
of 1967 Dr. Page invited me to an altar of prayer where I confessed my sins and
wept my way into the loving arms of my forgiving Savior Jesus Christ. I will forever be thankful that I was given a
Christian upbringing, and that as a child I was given musical training and many
opportunities to give my musical talents back to God.
