choices not-good-enough arena
I did the best I could, and in some arenas, my best was not good enough. I've made some bad choices.
mom good-friend months
Depending on what day of the week it is and what time of the month it is, I'm a good friend or not a good friend. I'm more or less a good mom or not a good mom, more or less a good mate or not a good mate. That's just life, whether or not you're public.
barrel body fingers good great growing hardest loaded older shotgun snap soon suddenly weak wrinkle
One of the great things about being older is you can be a sounding board, a good listener. But to be honest, I'd just as soon look down a loaded shotgun barrel than snap my fingers and suddenly be 94 today! Growing old isn't for the the weak at heart. The hardest thing would be to see your body backfire. And the whole wrinkle thing is really odd.
ban beyond consider dark energy extended focused good help interest involved justify people putting respect somebody totally trying
My energy was focused on trying to find my way out of a deep, dark wood, and getting good help that I trusted, and being involved with the people I was responsible for and responsible to. Beyond that extended family/friends/church base, there was no energy to consider who was putting the ban on me. If somebody made that choice, I totally respect that. But I had no interest in trying to justify anything to anybody.
energies good thanksgiving
Thanksgiving Day is a good day to recommit our energies to giving thanks and just giving.
good somebody until
What might seem like a good idea to somebody at 21 is probably not going to seem like a good idea at 50, but you don't know that until you get there.
closet couple gone good hard lives moments people private seeing sure
There've been a couple of times, I've gone in the closet and had a good hard cry, ... There's been so much going on in our lives and in our country, seeing people struggle. I'm sure most of us have had moments of private wailing. It's a hard time. But at the same time, in my own life, I feel overwhelmed with goodness.
baghdad cameras eight emotional families front helped loved military moved nobody row san satellite seated though using
We did a show in San Antonio that was really amazing. The military helped us do a satellite to Baghdad where during intermission we had eight families seated in the front row and one by one they were able to communicate with their loved ones using the cameras to see each other. It was so emotional and nobody moved even though it was the intermission.
expected happen help invited learning lessons people powerful situations
To be invited into these powerful situations is life-changing. I don't know what I expected to happen on this show, but the lessons we are learning as we help these people have just surpassed anything I could have imagined.
song jesus couple
But to make a holiday record that involves favorite American songs and then also get to sing about Jesus birth, it just seemed like a real easy, subtle way to combine a couple of things that I love.
eye talking looks
I can look back at different times in my life when I felt I could not find my way out of whatever it was. I'm not necessarily talking about marriage, but I wanted to pack it in. I wanted to disappear. A lot of that has to do with being in the public eye.
song writing thinking
I don't write songs that don't affect me on some level, because I figure if I am not moved by it, if its not something that I have a longing to celebrate or to be reminded of, if it doesn't affect me, then how can I possibly think it is going to affect somebody else. My touchstone is write something that matters.
kids special normal
I feel a part of the congregation. I've never had to do special music. The kids sing in the choir. It's just normal. We're treated like everybody else.
years waiting my-time
I have spent probably years of time waiting in studio lounges - waiting on a mix, waiting on my time to sing, waiting on, waiting on, waiting on. That's just the nature of life.
