expected happen help invited learning lessons people powerful situations
To be invited into these powerful situations is life-changing. I don't know what I expected to happen on this show, but the lessons we are learning as we help these people have just surpassed anything I could have imagined.
worst-enemy helping lifelong
I count myself really fortunate that I have some lifelong friends. The best thing about a friend is when you are being your own worst enemy a friend can help snap you out of it.
baghdad cameras eight emotional families front helped loved military moved nobody row san satellite seated though using
We did a show in San Antonio that was really amazing. The military helped us do a satellite to Baghdad where during intermission we had eight families seated in the front row and one by one they were able to communicate with their loved ones using the cameras to see each other. It was so emotional and nobody moved even though it was the intermission.
ban beyond consider dark energy extended focused good help interest involved justify people putting respect somebody totally trying
My energy was focused on trying to find my way out of a deep, dark wood, and getting good help that I trusted, and being involved with the people I was responsible for and responsible to. Beyond that extended family/friends/church base, there was no energy to consider who was putting the ban on me. If somebody made that choice, I totally respect that. But I had no interest in trying to justify anything to anybody.
clue gonna happen
Just didn't know what was gonna happen to us, just didn't know where we were gonna go. Didn't have a clue as to what we were gonna do next,
across facing feeling knows looking seems steps takes
Looking at little Conner take those steps across the stage, and I thought everyone of us knows the feeling of facing something that just seems insurmountable. Sometimes it just takes a little time.
choices not-good-enough arena
I did the best I could, and in some arenas, my best was not good enough. I've made some bad choices.
song jesus couple
But to make a holiday record that involves favorite American songs and then also get to sing about Jesus birth, it just seemed like a real easy, subtle way to combine a couple of things that I love.
mom good-friend months
Depending on what day of the week it is and what time of the month it is, I'm a good friend or not a good friend. I'm more or less a good mom or not a good mom, more or less a good mate or not a good mate. That's just life, whether or not you're public.
eye talking looks
I can look back at different times in my life when I felt I could not find my way out of whatever it was. I'm not necessarily talking about marriage, but I wanted to pack it in. I wanted to disappear. A lot of that has to do with being in the public eye.
song writing thinking
I don't write songs that don't affect me on some level, because I figure if I am not moved by it, if its not something that I have a longing to celebrate or to be reminded of, if it doesn't affect me, then how can I possibly think it is going to affect somebody else. My touchstone is write something that matters.
kids special normal
I feel a part of the congregation. I've never had to do special music. The kids sing in the choir. It's just normal. We're treated like everybody else.
years waiting my-time
I have spent probably years of time waiting in studio lounges - waiting on a mix, waiting on my time to sing, waiting on, waiting on, waiting on. That's just the nature of life.
children people my-children
I love being with my children. They're fascinating people.
