The excellence of the power in this CD is of God
author: Roger C. Thurmond
Thirty years or more ago, I was the sound man and benefactor for a 12-vocalist Christian ensemble called The Earthen Vessel. (Ashley was four). The verse supporting our ministry was 2 Corinthians 4:7 - For we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us! It was a challenge and a blessing to see twelve raw, individual soloists learn how to sing to God's glory as one harmonious unit.
The excellence in this collection of songs comes from the heart of experience and a heart carefully prepared by God for amazing service to Him, His purpose, and His glory.
Fragmented, broken hearts can fall apart without the Master's hand to mold and hold the pieces together, just like what I witnessed as a sound man as this group of individual soloists "came together" under God's hand.
I love this music and God's excellence in it! I love the artist and HIS-story behind every heartfelt lyric. I love the testimony and heart and passion behind the messages in song - to the glory of God!
I pray that God's excellence and power will be made manifest through the distribution of His message in the songs herein.
I should know whereof I speak - I am her earthly Father, and her life, talent, and ministry ministers deeply to my heart, probably more than anyone, except God, the Potter.
O HOW BEAUTIFUL - YOU ARE!

this cd is loaded with all the good stuff!!!
author: anne davis--fellow singer/songwriter.
are you kidding me????!!!
the lyrics literally SLAY me(that was my IMMEDIATE thought)...and that's quite a FEAT!
they remind me of things i once used to know and live. they were reeling me in on my first read of the liner notes--
the harmonies are right on. ashley and maggie's voices have always blended so perfectly--so much so, at times it's hard for me to distinguish between them--and that's such a kewl thing when it comes to harmonies.....not to mention the AMAZING production on this cd project--i LOVE so much about how the different songs are clothed beautifully with just the right instruments with pro players. (really dig how well the musicians flow with one another and the style).....and artistically, the art design is over-the-top--it's like almost perfect!--so well done. when i received this cd in the mail, it really felt like i had been handed over a SACRED GIFT. everytime i take another listen, i keep finding myself welling up with JOY over all the life and artistic victories symbolized over the course of just 10 songs. from one artist to another, i applaud you for a job well done!
