This week I want to share with you a song that has become my prayer these past few weeks. God’s presence has and will always be the most important thing in my life. For I know without Him who I would be. We can’t do anything and don’t want to do anything without Him. […]

All four boys, who were mostly related as cousins, took to the piano, some by watching others play. Their style was not the “normal church sound,” but contained a little jazz and blues. As time passed, two of the boys became strong followers of Christ, while the two cousins went into the field of a new type of music called Rock and Roll. These two men were Mickey Gilley and Jerry Lee Lewis.
