This coming Sunday I will be playing for two hours at PJ's coffee in Suwanee. This will be part of a Sunday night benefit concert type deal to raise money for a little girl, Olivia King. I learned about Olivia's story a few weeks back and wanted to help however I could. When I was diagnosed with Lymphoma, people reached out from all over the country. On top of prayer and support, a significant amount of money was raised to help out with misc. costs. I wasn't "IN NEED" of the money, but it sure did help and Danielle and I are forever grateful to those who sacrificed for our benefit. People gave, not out of a necessity, but out of generosity. Olivia's family, on the other hand, is "IN NEED" of money for costs associated with a liver transplant. While I can not give much financially, I can play some music and sing for a few hours! ;) I know that many people are involved, and I'm glad to help out.
When I first heard about her story, the money needing to be raised was near $185,000 dollars. Already in a few short weeks, that number has been now lowered to less than $50,000 dollars. It is obvious that God is working some incredible miracles as He writes her story, and all of our parts in it. You can read more about her story and everything that is going on in her world at
