The Inspirations – “Yes, I Will Be There” (1988)
With this latest release, the Inspirations scaled the instrumentation back to just piano, bass and acoustic guitar. The album had a more rustic feel, but was undeniably “Inspirations”.

The Inspirations – “It’s Still the Blood” (1987)
This would be Ronnie Hutchins’ only mainline release during his brief tenure with the group in the 80’s. It was a great album, with the title song becoming one of the Inspirations’ most loved tunes and one of Archie’s sugar sticks.

Diana’s YouTube Stats 2019
Another year has passed since I performed this analysis. Although I don't think I went to as many concerts or posted as many new vidoes as last year, it's interesting to see what people chose to watch. This first group is for the total number of views since the...

Bless Them Which Persecute You

Yesterday, someone on Facebook asked for prayer requests. I asked prayer for strength and wisdom. I'm currently reading through Psalms so when I read Chapter 28 this morning, verse 7 caught my eye: "The LORD is my strength and my shield; in him my heart trusts, and I...
Are You Too Busy?

Don’t Forget to Give Thanks
"If just one soul returns to give thanks for what You've doneThis is my prayer, Lord, let me be the one." ~The Rochesters I expect the majority of people see prayer as a time to present their requests to the Lord, but I wonder how many go back and thank Him when the...
