ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

I owe a huge debt of gratitude to Lucky Kelson, sound engineer and owner of Lucky K Recording Studio. He is a true professional, a wonderful friend, and one of the most impressive musicians and engineers I have ever known.

Larry Butler, two-time Grammy-winning Nashville producer, was the driving force, producer and co-arranger for Bless These Hands. He found value in my music from the very beginning. He believed in me and encouraged me to reach down inside myself and experiment with parts of my voice that I had not yet discovered.

Michael Wheeler, graphic designer, beloved friend and brother in Christ, was the ever-so-patient and talented jacket designer for A Soft Place to Fall. Thank you, Mike ... your creativity, talent and keen eye turned out a product that I truly love ... and your sense of humor made it fun the entire way!

Bless These Hands was a life-long-dream-come-true, and I am forever grateful to Lucky and Larry for their hundreds of hours of dedication and hard work.

A Soft Place to Fall was released in January 2007, after 3 years of distractions, hard work and waiting. Who would have thought a second CD would have been possible? I am grateful for those who supported and encouraged me to finish it and to take a bold step of faith back into ministry. A collection of 9 original and 2 cover tunes, A Soft Place to Fall is an assortment of inspirational and reflective music that soothes and moves the believer and unbeliever alike, and reassures of the nearness, forgiveness and unconditional love of God.
