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.
enjoy experience great hands life miss plays says somebody time turn wish
What a great thing to wish for, your life plays out in a way, that you miss something that's so important to you, and somebody says what would you like, or if I could wish I would turn back the hands of time and go back and enjoy this experience that I missed.
crying either great hope music opportunity seen stay touch
I started writing when I was a kid, and I have always seen music as a great opportunity to either get in touch or stay in touch with things that matter, ... how you feel about somebody, what you think, what you hope for, what you are crying about.
act again coming empowering greatest matter matters people talking together wish
The greatest part of this, I just keep experiencing over and over again are people coming together and talking about things that really matter to them. The act of talking about something that matters is empowering all by itself, even if the wish isn't picked.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
children people my-children
I love being with my children. They're fascinating people.
