He's soooo much more than just a singer.....
The image is one thing and the human being is another. It's very hard to live up to an image.
Talent is being able to sell what you're feeling.
Truth is like the sun. You can shut it out for a time, but it ain't goin' away.
Hollywood had lost sight of the basics. They're a lot of fancy talkers who like to pigeonhole you.
I believe in the Bible. I believe that all good things come from God. I don't believe I'd sing the way I do if God hadn't wanted me to.
We do two shows a night for five weeks. A lot of times we'll go upstairs and sing until daylight… gospel songs. We grew up with it. It more or less puts
your mind at ease. It does mine. Gospel music is the purest thing there is on this earth.
There is nothing more notable in Socrates than that he found time, when he was an old man, to learn music and dancing and thought it time well spent.
You only pass through this life once; you don't come back for an encore.

When I was a child, ladies and gentlemen, I was a dreamer. I read comic books, and I was the hero of the comic book. I saw movies, and I was the hero in the
movie. So every dream I ever dreamed has come true a hundred times...I learned very early in life that, 'Without a song, the day would never end; without a
song, a man ain't got a friend; without a song, the road would never bend -- without a song.' So I keep singing a song. Goodnight. Thank you.

"If I could reach up and hold a star
for every time you've made me smile,
the entire evening sky would be in the palm of my hand."

In everyone's life, at sometime, our inner fire goes out. If we are lucky, it is burst back into
flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the human spirit.

Create in me a clean heart, O God,
and renew a right spirit within me. Ps. 51:10
I made the big move from MD
to sunny FL in 1999. I have one terrific daughter, two spoiled kitties, and wonderful pastors at my church, New Covenant Ministries.
I enjoy games, quizzes, psychology, communicating with friends, "One Life to Live", anything Elvis, and
anything Clay -- not necessarily in that order.
My philosophy is that you need to learn how to give as well as receive, how to have peace in any circumstance, and how to love and respect yourself so that you
can love and respect others.
I'm a Claymate. That's a very enthusiastic supporter
of Clay Aiken. However, I'm not a screamer, like many Claymates are. I 'discovered' him in 2003 and never recovered. In fact, I'm worse today
than I was then. That's because Clay only gets better with every song, every TV appearance, every tour, every UNICEF trip, and his time on Broadway in
SPAMALOT. To quote Jeff Foxworthy's words to Clay at the end of 'Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader?', "You're a great humanitarian and a
man of character." That says it all. Clay learned in his early years to be true to himself, no matter what his peers thought of him or how they treated
him. He was able to overcome the obstacles and God set him on the path to stardom. He is still overcoming obstacles and trusting in that Divine Guidance. I
haven't had the pleasure of meeting Clay YET but I got a good handshake after his 2006 Christmas concert in Jacksonville, Florida.

Thanks Dee, hope all is well with you too. Sorry I'm a bit late in replying. Been quite busy lately. Hope I can redeem myself by sharing a couple of pictures from Norway, I took on one of my vacations. The first is taken at Hardangervidda - on the mountain where eastern Norway meets west. The other is from one of our most famous fjords, Geirangerfjorden.
Have a wonderful day!
Alice
