hard-times ideas life-is-hard
Anybody who's ever gone through a hard time - any outsider's perception, no matter how much information they're given, they have no idea what the person's life is like.
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.
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.
came hard leads life people step younger
That has been said, especially by younger artists. But life just happens, and one step leads to the next, ... A lot of people were already working really hard doing what I was doing before I came along.
behind hard known life peaceful several stretch
The hard times are several years behind me now. This is probably the most peaceful stretch of life I've known as an adult.
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.
