Who is my favorite singer?
It has been asked of me, who is my favorite singer? Though many names come to mind, the greatest voices I've heard are those that have blessed me personally. I remember the voice of a very small woman with an even smaller voice singing praise during service. The church became still as a mouse to hear her.
I also remember my mother singing to my little brother when he was fretful and could not sleep. Most of all I remember a minister singing quietly behind closed curtains in the Emergency Room to his dying, elderly church member. Later I commented on the beautiful hymns he was singing which reminded me of my childhood. He smiled wryly after I commented on the beautiful songs he choose to sing. He told me, "My wife asked me as I was leaving, Honey, don't sing"
Who is my favorite singer, I don't know, that is a hard question. Maybe it's the voice singing within my own soul.
