Thanks for visiting my diary. I've been journaling since 1984 and have chosen to share some of my entries online. They are not all positive thoughts, but I hope that reading them might be a blessing to someone who needs encouragement.

If you are just coming to my diary for the first time, please read my introductory entry, where I share some background that is important if you plan to follow this diary regularly.

Please also visit my music page, where you can hear samples from my debut CD, I Believe, which features songs written based on experiences shared in this journal.

I did one that I wrote the summer between my junior and senior year which is called "A Very Special Friend." He told me I convey emotion very well in my songs. That really touched me because that is what I want to do. Without emotion, my music is nothing. "It's not a song till it touches your heart," Amy Grant sang.
