@ReichardWorld “Are we going to eat today?”

All the day long, they look at me like this.

@ReichardWorld Mary, I’m glad you posted this update. Juliana and I will be praying for you. And thanks for the information! I’m glad you have an advocate. Everyone needs one. This is probably not the rest you wanted, but I’m glad you get a rest nonetheless.

Maybe this will help some folks. I got diagnosed with coronary artery disease this week. I need surgery asap. Meantime, here is what I’ve learned.

My heart is broken.  Melinda,  my beloved wife of 28 years, passed away this morning.  Our five children and I are just in tears.  We are lost.  Melinda was more than my wife.  She was my savior.   She gave me the emotional security I needed to have a career.

@BrianWilsonLive I’m very sorry to hear this, Brian. Lean on the Lord. He knows your sorrow.

@ArsenioOrteza We talked about this album a lot—at 9th grade lunch period.

When I bought this album, I had better teeth and smaller nostrils than the cover model. One of those situations still holds.

@roddreher @ArsenioOrteza I’m so sorry, Arsenio.

@ArsenioOrteza I'm so very sorry.

My brother-in-law has died. I just saw him Saturday night. He thought he had a bad flu. Turns out his colon had ruptured. He didn't feel horrible enough to go to the hospital until yesterday. By then, there wasn't much doctors could do but prolong the inevitable.

@BrianWilsonLive I’m so sorry to hear this. Jeff was a fine person, a dear Christian who was kind to all. My record label released his Stars in the Album years back. He was just a treasure to work with and had only good things to say about working with you, Brian. He’s with the Lord.

I’m so heartbroken that my dear friend Jeff Foskett has passed. Jeff was always there for me when we toured and we couldn’t have done it without him. Jeff was one of the most talented guys I ever knew. Love and Mercy to Jeff’s family and friends, we will remember him forever.

@MrJoshuaRogers Wow. That is gold.
