It’s A Brand New Day

My 82 year old co-author and I don’t make any mention of it in our book but I think it’s worthy of mentioning to good people who would be part of Gather and Winspiration that in spite of losing his daughter LaDonna (my wife and daughter’s mother) to cancer after 17 years of being paralyzed, my partner Donald L. Slater still believes (and so do I) in God’s generosity so much that he wrote a beautiful poem called It’s a Brand New Day and it’s about God’s creation on display.

He handed it to me last Christmas Eve and asked me if I would turn it into a song. I was honored and I started with guitar, then keyboard, more guitar, bass, sang it and built a beautiful song that God allowed to come through me.

Donald was so enthusiastic (literally moved) to see his work transformed into a CD that we decided to turn it into a book to share with the world so I wrote a Life Lessons section on family values that honors the gifts of mothers, fathers, grandparents, veterans and by golly, we are now celebrating this book that honors God and family on our new website. We hope it will bless many thousands of families and we hope parents will take the time to share precious moments together to take in the essence of our little book.

LOVE is the essence of this life. Everything else is a distant second. LOVE is the tool that transforms, adds meaning, binds us together, adds quality to this gift of life. Share it and may your life be wholesome, full of love, light, encouragement and may you take the time to ensure that those you encounter have an abundance of love and hope in their lives too.
