Let's Start Our Program
Small notes on the Prelude and Finale:
In 1993, I was in a horrible car accident. Four out of eight people in the vehicle died immediately. I was injured with a broken spine and an injured knee. I was taken to Grady Hospital, and the doctor told me that I would be paralyzed for the rest of my life. At that exact moment, I promised God that if He healed me and took me out of Grady Hospital, I would spend the rest of my life glorifying His name. God performed an amazing miracle; He healed and restored me in a very short time. God said that He is the ‘Alpha and Omega,’ meaning that He is the first and the last. Because of my promise to God, I would like to dedicate the first and the last song of each program to Him. Thank you.
