Am I Psychic Or What?

Back in the early 90's, during college, my friend, Kirsten, introduced me to this singer named Renee Bondi. She's a Christian singer who's quadriplegic and had a CD out at the time. It was a beautiful CD--as Renee was told she'd never walk or sing again after the accident--and here she is singing.

My friend, Kirsten--her family knows Renee and her family...bought me her cd and told me a little bit of her testimony. (Which you can go to www.reneebondi.com to hear more).

Well at the time, I bought a Mary Chapin Carpenter CD--the one that has the song "Why Walk When You Can Fly". I brought the CD over to Kirsten's apartment and played the song to her. I said--this sounds like a perfect song for Renee to sing.

My friend was like, "Well, kind of" but she wasn't as 'convinced' as I was.

Well Renee came to our college campus to give us a testimony/concert and was selling her 2nd CD. I bought it. Guess what one of the songs on the CD was???? Yep, "Why Walk When You Can Fly".

Kirsten was a little surprised over how it all happened.

Now the 2nd part....

Besides Martina, I'm a big fan of Michael W. Smith. I only belong to two fan clubs--Michael's and Martina's.


Today I went to a day retreat at my church and the theme was on Forgiveness. It was being conducted by Fr. Joe Rodrigues, who has two CDs out of his own--to raise money for the ministry he's involved with) and he's "locally famous". On his 2nd CD, called "Divine Fire", he has two MWS songs--"Friends" and "Place In The World". (His versions are great--but not as great as Michael's--I'm biased).

Well during this retreat, he gave a few talks, of course, and in the middle of one of them, one of Michael's songs called "Healing Rain" came into my mind. Afterwards, I went up to Fr. Joe and I said, "You know, in the middle of your talk, a song came into my mind."

And I continued, "Have you heard of Michael W. Smith's song, "Healing Rain"?

And his response was "Well I'm working on a 3rd CD, and that is one of the songs that I will be doing".

I couldn't believe it...I was floored!

He told me that he was tweaking it a little bit, but ASSURED me that I would like it. (He knows that I'm a "Smitty" fan and like the "originals" better than any re-makes).


I couldn't believe it and I can't wait to get his new CD now.


Take Care,

The Unthinkable

Well, today, I actually went to a Hillary Clinton rally here in Tucson, Arizona.

While I'm not a Democrat (I am actually registered Independent-so I cannot vote in the Primaries this Tuesday) I thought it would be interesting to go to it.

Regardless of who you are for, if you have an opportunity to go to a big rally, go to it. I went to a John McCain rally 8 years ago when he was running for president last time, and it was interesting (but not as 'crowded') too.

Dale Earnhart Sr Fans?

Hi everyone,

I have a really good friend who owns a 2002 Chevrolet Monte Carlo that has less than 40K miles on it. It is in great condition. It's a 'special edition' Dale Earnhart Sr one.

Due to financial reasons, they are having to sell it and are asking for $14K for this vehicle.

If you are interested, please send me a message and I will get you in touch with them.

They live near Tucson, Arizona.

Take Care,

Barbara
