A Long Hiatus

Hello all of you wonderful fans, I wanted to give all of you a quick update on what's going on with me. I'm going to have to take a pretty long hiatus from my music, beginning right now. I have severe Spinal Stenosis in my neck and back, and my right shoulder is really torn up. The Stenosis in my neck has squeezed my spinal cord from 15 millimeters to 4 millimeters, which almost makes it flat. Not only is the pain terrible, but it causes me to stagger and fall a lot. Therefore, I will have neck surgery on July 1st. Then, after I've somewhat recovered from that surgery, I have to have my right shoulder replaced. My surgeon told me that it will be an extremely painful recovery period, which could take up to a year. Needless to say, playing my guitar will be pretty much impossible, and I hate that more than I do the surgery!! I also wanted to let all of you know that I recently added a new song here on N1M. It's called, "The Stranger". I beg all of you to please listen to it, along with the other two songs. "The Stranger" will be the last new song I can add for some time! So please listen to it until you wear it out!! Well, that's all from me for a while. I want to ask all of you to please pray for my quick and complete recovery, with minimal pain. Thank y'all so very much for all the messages and support you've sent and shown me, since I started putting some of my songs on N1M!! I know that my God is in absolute control, and I know He has a purpose for the painful trials I'm going through now and for a while to come! I also know that His awesome grace is sufficient for me, and that my music ministry will continue and even grow, after I've recovered from my surgeries. Please keep your messages coming, because I love to read them! Thank you again, and may our Almighty, loving God bless all of you abundantly, and know that I love all of you!! I'll be back as soon as God permits!!
