| Message | Dear Jimmy, Thank you so much, for carrying on, when others might have given up, or failed, or changed their courses, in life. Your ministry and music help others to stay in the service of the Lord. I have listened to my dad's collection of old Blackwood Bros and Statesmen albums until they were more scratch than record. He was such a big fan of your dad, as I am, and I find your family's musical testimony inspires me to write, to sing, and to do childrens puppet ministries, even to this day. I always loved "The Devil Cant Harm A Praying Man", and" Oh Thou Blessed Rock Of Ages", particularly that harmony, at the end, best.I had searched for years, to find the words for "Every Day Will Be Sunday By And By" and when I finally met your dad, at a Masters 5 concert, I was too awed, by his kindness, to ask him what the words for saturday were? Only two weeks ago, after searching for parts of 4 decades; a group named Jericho, whose lead singer knew your dad, finally sang the song, at a concert. Afterward, he told me what the song said.It was such a blessing, to finally come full circle with that. Just want to say thank you again, Jimmy. for all you and your family have done, to shine for Jesus, across the years. You are ALL my heroes. PS.Your dad only came up to my chin, when we were taking pictures together, but in my heart, he will always be a Giant of the faith. Thanks again for leding him and his voice to us, for so much of your life. God bless you Steve Grant. |
