Signature Sound - Nashvile, TN

Ok, This is what happens when you have an excited SSQ fan, a mac computer with a built in camera, and two tickets to an upcoming concert......

......He gets a little excited. This whole experience has been a whirlwind it seems like. I met these guys at a very difficult time in my life. When God wasn't my center focus. He was there,

but he wasn't what my life was totally about. The message in EHSS's songs provoked me to study and pray more and I have since then become music minister of my church and became closer to God than I have ever been. 

I have met some fantastic people through the Message Board and made some life-long bonds I know. I am looking forward to seeing Jen, Lindsey and Ms. Linda in Nashville. Even though it is general admission and we will have to wait in line, I am ready for it and I would do it for these guys. Can't wait and I know it is going to be awesome! I want to leave you all with a verse that a dear friend of mine brought to light when he preached last wednesday night. It says: Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech,  in life, in love in faith and in purity. 1 Timothy 4:12. Christ is always at work. Are you ready to accept the challenge?

I am starting a little music player on the site. I am going to put one song on it each week. The one song that is on it will be the song that I am listening to that week. The song that is on there this week I will talk about below.

Please watch this video here. This song is wonderful. I know many of my readers are not CCM fans but this song is a good one. You really need to see it. Love Them Like Jesus.

Praising Him,

Graduation | May 16, 2008

Well We made it! Class of 2008 is out of school and ready to take the world by storm. Dresden High School held its Graduation Ceremony on May 16, 2008 at 7PM in the gym. We had a huge crowd and, yes, I sang. I was terrified but the whole song went off seamlessly and I was very satisfied! I will work on trying to get that video on here.

I want to say to my classmates, thanks for all the laughs and memories throughout the last four years! You guys are the best and will always hold a special place in my heart! Love you guys!

Tribute to Dottie Rambo

Tonight is third-sunday night singing at my church. As the music director, I usually do one solo and let other people do their solos as well. Tonight, I did two songs. One song was a tribute to Gospel legend, Dottie Rambo. I sang Sheltered in the arms of God. I told a story about Dottie at the beginning. The video began about 3 sentences into the story but the main jist is still there. Enjoy!

I also sang "Redemption Draweth Nigh." I have loved that song since I saw Ernie Haase sing that song. Here is the video of it:

I hope you all enjoyed these videos. I love singing for the Lord and it is my desire for him to use me in that capacity.

God Bless,

DJ

Dottie Rambo | 1934 - 2008

In Loving Memory

Ms. Joyce 'Dottie' Rambo

1934 - 2008

On Sunday, May 11, Gospel Superstar Dottie Rambo was called by the Lord to come home. Although she was taken suddenly from us, I know that this was God's plan for her all along. He knew this was how Dottie would go. Dottie's ministry touched so many lives and some of her songs have changed lives. She was truly an Angel of God here on Earth. I love those little glimpses of heaven that God gives us and I am certain that Dottie was one of them. She was a special lady and she will truly be missed but I know we will see her on the other side!
