Faith is a substance....
 ... but unlike the gum on the train platform or the dog doo doo in the parking lot, I'm not mad that it's stuck to me. I honestly have an unwavering faith that all things will work together for my good in spite of what it looks like at the moment. As I've gotten older I've definitely become more faithful as my relationship with and understanding of God deepens. Still, I'm a work in progress and am excited about my perpetual evolution. I'm even more excited than yesterday because David Jones sent me the new Dorinda Clark Cole project last night.
Most people know that, of the five, Dorinda is my favorite Clark Sister. I've always felt that she is the most versatile and has the most control over her instument. When I was the advisor for the Voices of Praise at Monmouth University, I convinced them that we needed to bring Dorinda to the annual Gospel Explosion. I even hopped on a plane and flew out to Detroit for her live recording back in 2000 because I knew that she was gonna bring it! I was right. She lifted the roof off Bailey Cathedral and made me a little less aware that I was in Detroit (no offense to Detroitans... Detroitites... What are they called?).
Her new project, The Rose of Gospel, Live in Houston, is a 12-track testimony about God's faithfulness and the importance of trusting Him. It has been playing non-stop since I got it, especially For the Rest of my Life. KiKi and 'nem back there SCREAMING in the name! It's hard to keep still. There is something about voices raised in song that get me going. When they start singing, "my life is gonna get better," you have no choice but believe it. It is truly faith affirming and I want my faith to increase daily. If faith is a substance that can be abused, I wanna be a junkie, y'all!
