We thank everyone for their prayers and support as we have followed God through these last few years. Rosalie is getting stronger every day and will soon be back to full health. Our musical portion of the podcast reflects the fact that this week is the 250th birthday of the United States. We begin with God Bless America, a song which we have always believed should be our national anthem. Next, an old song that comes from what Historians call the Civil War. A war that tore the United States apart and in which more American died than in all the other wars combined. This song was a marching song for the Union Armies and for many years the theme song of the Republican Party, The Battle Hymn of the Republic.

As we've mentioned before Robert has been writing songs for over sixty years. Back in the 60s and 70s he tried to make it in the music business, but it never worked out. Then when he got saved, he put that life behind him and for the last 40+ years he has played exclusively in churches and revivals with Rosalie. But with the advent of AI he has learned to create his songs the way they've always sounded in his head. And the first song will be released on Spotify and all streaming platforms this July 4th.
