I discovered a passion for music while in junior high
and for vocal performance when I sang Ray Boltz’s “Thank
You” at a church dinner theater in O’Fallon, Illinois
around 1989-1990. In the years since then, God has
blessed me with many opportunities to sing and develop
the voice He gave me and I have learned that when I sing
to and for Him is when I feel his pleasure the most.
Lauren and I
began singing together regularly in 1996, starting
with “All I Ask of You” (from Phantom of the Opera) at our
sister, Julianne’s, wedding reception. That song
remains one of our all-time favorites and since then we
have continued singing together as often as time and
circumstance allow. (And while we both maintain our
closest affinity with sacred/classical arrangements,
Broadway remains a close 2nd.)
Some of my
singing highlights over the years include: “The
Star-Spangled Banner” (solo) at a rally for President
Bush in Lakeland, FL on Oct. 23, 2004, “The Lord Bless
You and Keep You” (ensemble) at a home schooling
conference in Knoxville, TN, “Mary Did You Know” (duet)
at Park Cities Presbyterian Church in Dallas, TX
(Christmas 2004-2008), “Rise Up O Men of God” CD recording
(Alert men’s chorus) in 1995 and numerous solo, duet,
quartet and ensemble performances for friend’s weddings
including a solo of “If You Could See What I See” at the
Air Force Academy Chapel in Colorado Springs in 2003.
It was probably 2002
that we first had the idea of cutting a CD
together. At the time and for a year and a half or so
time and other obstacles prevented that project from coming
together. Finally, in His timing (and providentially
after a full semester of voice lessons for me) God
worked out the details and we stepped forward in faith
to make the CD. Words are insufficient to describe the
blessing and joy we experienced as God poured out His
grace on us through the many friends and our wonderful
family’s support and participation that made it both
possible and great fun too! I pray that comes through
to all those who hear our music. God has truly given us
a testimony of His grace in our lives and it is our
delight to share that with you!
