I have been a Christian for over 25 years now- but have only been a serious musician for about 8 years now. I have tried to play piano since I was a child but could never "get" it because I play by ear. I asked the Lord to help me, and if He did, I would play for Him. Now He's been giving me all these beautiful songs. When I started getting so many, I felt like the Lord wanted me to share them. Who knows, maybe someone will come to know Him through them. With my Lord's help, 99% of the songs here are written, sung, harmonized, and played by me. I give Him all the credit, because I am nothing without His love and guidance. River of Life is a collaboration with myself, Barry Scahill, and my brother, Bill Walsh. A very special THANKS to Wendy, our new daughter in law, for allowing me to use the awesome cloud picture of a cross she took one day! God knows how to get our attention any way He can! LOL!! And a HUGE thanks to my brother, Bill, for all the help working out the "kinks" with my Boss recorder. Also, I have to thank Barry, who has given me lots of encouragement and helped me learn to go further with the Boss recorder, by telling me some of the things it could do, and I wanted to learn, like panning! Last, but not least, a TREMENDOUS thanks to my hubby, who has to listen to my songs in various stages.
I don't know how he does it sometimes!! LOL!!! THANKS MY LOVE!!!

We got some good news about my daddy's cancer-: it hasn't spread to any other organ, so he will spend some time on chemo and radiation, then they will see if the tumor has shrunk enough to remove it. I am still praying hard that God will work this all for His glory. That dad will come to know Him in a personal way. That he will accept Jesus as his Lord and Savior. That my mom will also ask Jesus to walk beside her, too. That they will both see this as the opportunity to enrich their lives, by walking with Him!

those dreaded words you never want to hear-: are that someone you know and love has cancer. That is what we have just found out. God, you know that I depend on You, and I know that you are in control of this diagnosis, so I am turning to You right now, in our hour of need, for strength, for comfort, for help in what we should do. My daddy has cancer, Lord, and I am placing my hope and fears and prayers in Your lap, Lord, as right now I just can't imagine being without him.

Thank You Lord for everything you provide-: and please increase my faith in You at this hour of great need. I am in prayer for my dad, that You heal him of whatever is wrong. I ask that you put your comforting arm around my mom, and hold her tight, tell her You love her, and will take care of her no matter what happens. I pray that we all can keep our eyes on You, and remember that You have a plan for everyone, and everything that happens to each and every one of us. Amen.
