When I was younger I heard a lot of things like "don't quit your day job"
or "what did you do with all the money your mother gave you for
 music lessons". At some point, I realized that most of those people
were petty and jealous and didn't want me to quit my day job and take
their gig or they didn't want to pay 
a fare wage for my labor. 
Thank God all I every wanted to do
was serve Him. From a very young age
I believed. Not just that Jesus is
my Savior but that He called me to be
what I am today. I'm not there yet but I am moving in the right direction.
Through all my poor
decisions and failures God has found a way to get me to where I am today.
	"Lift Me Up" is an album comprised of original songs that came from the
heart, mind, and soul of a group of musicians that truly love the Lord. Listen
to this CD all the way through a few times and you'll hear what I know. It will
encourage and inspire you to want to serve the Lord with gladness. 
I believe the Lord has blessed everyone that has had a part in producing this work.
Let Him bless you.
