SONY’S DEVOTIONS
Why Are You Here?
As a child, my dream was to be a singer. When people asked what I wanted to be when I grew up, that is what I would tell them. I don't remember when this dream subsided, but I know that it lasted throughout my teen years. Although now in my 40s, I still love turning...

Are You Ready to Go?
Life is moving faster than it ever has before What tomorrow brings us isn't certain any more I grew up listening to this song from Evie, but I will say if this was true back in the 1970s, it's even more true now. Scrolling through Facebook, I caught an old Gaither...
