Comment:	To Steven : I know this must have been a very difficult thing for you to talk about. I cannot express enough in words of how sorry I was to hear of Maria's passing. Just know that YOU ARE NOT ALONE! I know at times it feels like you are alone; we want to feel those Great big arms of GOD around us! I lost my Mom, my closest friend and confidant 2 years prior; loss is oh so hard!! It was a very difficult time for me, I wrote a lot of my feelings out. I had lots of questions for GOD too! And yes, one day, somehow, and someway.. you find strength to rise above; I still have my down times of missing my Mom and I cry. I wish there was an antidote for the pain to go away sometimes. There are many songs that I listen to that help ease my sorrow, many of your songs help also please know that. Songs have a way to comfort. I am reminded of the words from Psalms 42:3 "My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy GOD?" verse 5 also "Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in GOD: for I shall yet praise HIM for the help of HIS countenance." I am glad to hear that you were able to rise and write words for songs to be heard through it all: I must buy the cd. Steven, you and your family have my deepest sympathy, please know that. Thank you for so many GOD-given songs throughout your years of recordings, concerts and videos; We are blessed as believers, more than we know! GOD is nearer....... HE draws closer to us! "Draw nigh to GOD, and HE will draw nigh to you..."(James 4:8a) HE hears before we even call!!! GOD BLESS YOU & YOUR FAMILY!! - Don
