November 2006:  It is with great joy that I announce to you the completion of my new CD, Be Not Afraid, which was recorded in Nashville with producer Joe Hand.  World-class musicians and professional gospel singers (just back from touring with Lyle Lovett) make this collection of 12 inspiring songs extra special.  One of the singers is also a stand-out in this year's American Idol competition, so keep an eye out for Melinda Doolittle!

I owe a special debt of gratitude to my 12 song sponsors--we had all of the "bells and whistles" due to their generosity.  Also thanks to the support of my wonderful fans, we ran out of our first 1,000 CDs in just 10 days, and we've just ordered our third batch of 1,000.  Sound clips are available in the Music Store, and they are shipping out daily.  The first 1,000 have sold out in the first 10 days--thanks be to God!
