Beautiful Ted. Thank you for the inspiration.
You are most welcome, my beautiful mother.
Most excellent, Ted! Something I needed to hear this morning.
And by the way, you’re looking great!
Thanks Chris, appreciate the comment as well as the compliment.
Awesome song! As fate would have it, I have actually been learning that one on guitar over the past month. Now when I play it I will be reminded of a greater message!
Well what do you know…keep on practicing!
Ted, what a beautiful message! Thanks…
Thank you Rachel.
Ted,
I have heard you play this song countless times, and it never gets old. I like it in its present context; its strong and positive message that is impossible to dismiss. Keep it going.
Brian
Thanks a lot Brian, I really appreciate your comment.
I was born wih broken wings as it were. C.P. is motor control issue which has it drawbacks but most times it is a way for me to find creative ways in which to accomplish my goals. For my next big goal learning to jump rope I have a Sunday School full of eager Teachers what a joy it will be….. rb
Thanks brother Ted! It’s true, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger!
