PLEASE come & hear some of the songs I've written and recorded, some of which were cultivated out of my days at Word of Life @ IndieHeaven Please drop me an email if you would like my 2nd CD (FOUND) sent your way for FREE. Some describe my sound as a cross between the feel of SC Chapman, Bebo Norman's music and the voice of Dan Haseltine from Jars of Clay. Drop me an email...I'd love to hear from you!!

Taking time to say Hello... - Posted: September 18, 2007   by kara (blackledge) and greg daley - 1998 , 1999  
Hey everyone! It's been a while so I thought I would send out a big HELLO and let you all know what's going on. We have been busy with life but God has blessed us so much. Greg is still working in Building Sales and has had a great year so far. I am still at home but have a part-time job cleaning Greg's company offices once a week. Ethan is 4 and we have started preschool together. He is such a little man now and is growing up so quickly. Brandon is 2 1/2 and is all boy-super mischievous and knows how to use his smile to get out of trouble. My 3 men are my joy! God has been good! Praise him!
