Hello and welcome to
another 3ABN Today program.
00:01:06.70\00:01:09.40
Thank you for joining us
as you do each and every day
00:01:09.43\00:01:12.60
and as always thank you
for your love and your prayers
00:01:12.63\00:01:15.30
and financial support of 3ABN
00:01:15.34\00:01:17.77
as we endeavor to
take this great gospel
00:01:17.81\00:01:19.77
of the kingdom
into all the world.
00:01:19.81\00:01:21.68
I'm here today with
00:01:21.71\00:01:23.04
one of my favorite
friends in the whole world
00:01:23.08\00:01:24.95
and one of the
greatest musicians
00:01:24.98\00:01:27.02
I think on planet earth,
00:01:27.08\00:01:28.68
we'll give God
the credit for that,
00:01:28.72\00:01:30.25
my Brother Tim Parton.
00:01:30.29\00:01:31.62
Oh, what a tweet.
Tim, how you doing?
00:01:31.65\00:01:33.56
Well I'm doing better now
00:01:33.62\00:01:34.96
that I know I'm one of
your favorite friends and...
00:01:34.99\00:01:36.32
Oh, absolutely. I
know my status with you.
00:01:36.36\00:01:38.69
It's good to know.
Oh, yeah, yeah, all right.
00:01:38.73\00:01:40.20
I think it's
important to let people know
00:01:40.26\00:01:41.80
what they mean to
you too and I truly...
00:01:41.83\00:01:43.23
Before they die, right? Exactly.
00:01:43.30\00:01:45.73
Well, it doesn't, you know...
00:01:45.77\00:01:47.10
Yeah.
00:01:47.17\00:01:48.50
Every day just let them
know how much they mean to you.
00:01:48.54\00:01:49.87
Now that really is
'cause a lot of times
00:01:49.90\00:01:51.34
we'll talk about after someone
00:01:51.37\00:01:53.24
or even I've heard
people at funeral homes,
00:01:53.31\00:01:55.01
said, boy, he
was an, and you know,
00:01:55.04\00:01:56.81
or later I wish I had it told,
00:01:56.88\00:01:58.78
I lost my father when
he was just 51 years old,
00:01:58.81\00:02:02.08
back 1974
00:02:02.12\00:02:03.99
and there were so
many regrets I had
00:02:04.02\00:02:06.19
that I thought,
00:02:06.22\00:02:07.56
"Wow, I wish I had
just told him this,
00:02:07.59\00:02:09.16
or wish I had told
him I loved him more."
00:02:09.19\00:02:10.99
Right, right.
00:02:11.03\00:02:12.36
You know, as you get older
you understand those things
00:02:12.39\00:02:13.80
but I was 21 almost, I
guess 22 when that happened,
00:02:13.83\00:02:17.37
just a young person,
00:02:17.43\00:02:18.77
but today we
want to do some music
00:02:18.80\00:02:20.80
and speaking of that,
00:02:20.84\00:02:22.40
I kind of wanted to go back
00:02:22.44\00:02:24.17
and talk to you
and kind of reminisce
00:02:24.21\00:02:27.68
we want you at home to reminisce
00:02:27.71\00:02:29.71
because how
important is parental training.
00:02:29.74\00:02:33.25
It's incredibly important
00:02:33.28\00:02:35.02
because the reason I
can look back and see
00:02:35.05\00:02:38.12
why I'm here today is
because of my parents.
00:02:38.15\00:02:41.22
And so those of you that
are parents and grandparents,
00:02:41.26\00:02:44.09
it's our responsibility
00:02:44.13\00:02:46.29
to train up the child
in the way he should go.
00:02:46.33\00:02:48.70
And when he is
old, the Bible says,
00:02:48.73\00:02:50.60
he will not depart from that,
00:02:50.63\00:02:52.13
you know, they may
go away for a while
00:02:52.17\00:02:53.97
but we have to
claim those promises
00:02:54.00\00:02:56.47
about our young people.
00:02:56.50\00:02:57.84
But I'm
thankful, Tim, I came from,
00:02:57.87\00:03:00.78
my family, we were pretty poor.
00:03:00.81\00:03:02.38
We lived on the poor side
of the track on West Frankfort
00:03:02.41\00:03:05.11
but my father was
disabled at 36 years old.
00:03:05.15\00:03:08.55
My mother and dad
used to, my dad especially
00:03:08.58\00:03:10.79
had a little country band
00:03:10.82\00:03:12.52
and they played every weekend
00:03:12.55\00:03:15.32
everywhere they could
play and travel quite a while.
00:03:15.36\00:03:18.39
And I know that my
mother only played,
00:03:18.43\00:03:20.96
she always used to say,
00:03:20.96\00:03:22.73
"Now don't talk about me
00:03:22.76\00:03:24.43
playing out in the
clubs for a bit but..."
00:03:24.47\00:03:26.90
Now here's what she said,
00:03:26.94\00:03:28.27
"I tried to get your dad to quit
00:03:28.30\00:03:29.67
and he wouldn't quit."
00:03:29.70\00:03:31.04
So I said, "Well
how would you like it
00:03:31.07\00:03:32.41
if I go out and play?"
00:03:32.44\00:03:33.78
Oh, wow.
00:03:33.84\00:03:35.18
So she played what we
call a little honky-tonk,
00:03:35.21\00:03:36.54
can you show what a
honky-tonk, rag time.
00:03:36.58\00:03:39.05
That was my mother,
00:03:42.28\00:03:44.79
she could do it
with the best of them...
00:03:44.82\00:03:46.15
I love it.
00:03:46.19\00:03:47.52
She could do it
with the best of them
00:03:47.56\00:03:48.89
It's quite a style. Oh, yeah.
00:03:48.92\00:03:50.29
But she did and they were
raised in Christian homes.
00:03:50.33\00:03:53.40
I think my mother
was raised Methodist,
00:03:53.46\00:03:56.60
my father didn't
go to church at all.
00:03:56.63\00:03:58.47
All right.
00:03:58.50\00:03:59.83
Family, they raised 12
kids, I think 13 of them,
00:03:59.87\00:04:02.50
totaled my aunts and uncles
00:04:02.54\00:04:03.91
and my Uncle Kenneth
was killed in World War II
00:04:03.94\00:04:06.51
but I was raised
with 12 aunts and uncles
00:04:06.54\00:04:09.31
on the one side
and some of those like
00:04:09.34\00:04:10.98
Uncle Owen had 12
kids and Uncle Bud eight...
00:04:11.01\00:04:12.98
All right.
00:04:13.01\00:04:14.35
You know, we had five
but my father was disabled
00:04:14.38\00:04:16.45
and so he became a Christian,
00:04:16.48\00:04:18.75
my mother became a
Christian in the year I was born
00:04:18.79\00:04:21.62
I think, 1951
00:04:21.66\00:04:23.53
and then after
that my father took him
00:04:23.56\00:04:25.83
about three or four more years.
00:04:25.86\00:04:27.20
I won't go
through the whole deal
00:04:27.23\00:04:29.00
but it was a series of things.
00:04:29.03\00:04:30.63
He just would not,
my mother would say,
00:04:30.67\00:04:32.90
"Honey, you really
need to accept the Lord."
00:04:32.93\00:04:34.54
Everything he tried to do
00:04:34.57\00:04:36.10
literally as he
would say blew up my face
00:04:36.14\00:04:38.11
till finally he
said, "You know, what?
00:04:38.14\00:04:39.81
The Lord wants me that bad.
00:04:39.84\00:04:41.18
I'm going to..."
00:04:41.21\00:04:42.54
You know, my
mother, so he died for you,
00:04:42.58\00:04:44.25
made a plan of
salvation for you,
00:04:44.28\00:04:46.21
then I'm going to
give my heart to Him.
00:04:46.25\00:04:48.05
Yeah. And he did that.
00:04:48.08\00:04:49.42
So he quit playing out,
00:04:49.45\00:04:50.85
which he could make
pretty good money back then.
00:04:50.89\00:04:52.75
They made money
00:04:52.79\00:04:54.32
and so he quit
doing that altogether.
00:04:54.36\00:04:57.49
So now he was
disabled with a heart attack,
00:04:57.53\00:04:59.79
where he couldn't
hold a regular job.
00:04:59.83\00:05:02.06
So we didn't have much of
an income but those of us,
00:05:02.10\00:05:05.80
the kids worked
and we all chipped in,
00:05:05.83\00:05:07.67
my mother worked and
so we painted houses,
00:05:07.70\00:05:10.31
all the brothers mowed
lawns for people and, you know,
00:05:10.34\00:05:13.04
we got jobs at early years.
00:05:13.07\00:05:14.88
But what I'm so thankful
00:05:14.91\00:05:16.51
is that both of my
parents were Christians.
00:05:16.54\00:05:19.08
And I didn't hear them
00:05:19.11\00:05:20.45
arguing with each
other all the time
00:05:20.52\00:05:21.95
and they didn't argue with us.
00:05:21.98\00:05:23.49
It was like
this, this is the way
00:05:23.52\00:05:24.95
it's going to be
and this is what you do.
00:05:24.99\00:05:26.45
Right.
00:05:26.49\00:05:27.82
And then they
would explain to you why,
00:05:27.86\00:05:29.19
and my dad would say,
00:05:29.22\00:05:30.56
"Look, the Lord made,
the reason I'm the parent
00:05:30.63\00:05:32.39
'cause he put me in charge.
00:05:32.43\00:05:34.00
So as long as
you're under this roof,
00:05:34.00\00:05:36.16
you're going to do what I say."
00:05:36.20\00:05:37.53
But he was very good at saying.
00:05:37.57\00:05:38.90
This is why I want you to
do, not just because I want you
00:05:38.93\00:05:42.34
but I want you to
grow up to be something,
00:05:42.37\00:05:45.07
to be a value to somebody else.
00:05:45.11\00:05:47.74
He used to say, "I don't
care how much money you make
00:05:47.78\00:05:49.54
or what you do or
how much, you know,
00:05:49.58\00:05:51.51
schooling education you get.
00:05:51.55\00:05:52.88
I just want you to be
a person who loves people
00:05:52.91\00:05:56.25
and who loves the Lord
and makes it to heaven."
00:05:56.28\00:05:59.39
And so I'm thinking today
00:05:59.42\00:06:01.49
when we used to
sit around as kids
00:06:01.52\00:06:04.69
and on Friday
evening especially,
00:06:04.73\00:06:06.76
Sabbath came and my
mother played the piano
00:06:06.83\00:06:08.76
and my dad played guitar,
00:06:08.80\00:06:10.37
and as we got older my
brother Tommy played piano,
00:06:10.40\00:06:13.37
and I played guitar,
00:06:13.44\00:06:14.77
my brothers could
play bass or guitar,
00:06:14.80\00:06:16.71
whatever you needed,
00:06:16.74\00:06:18.14
and I think you
have a similar story.
00:06:18.17\00:06:19.77
I do.
00:06:19.81\00:06:21.14
So tell us a
little bit about yours?
00:06:21.18\00:06:22.51
Well, I was raised
in a Christian family
00:06:22.54\00:06:24.38
and my dad played the guitar
00:06:24.41\00:06:27.75
and we all sang
00:06:27.78\00:06:29.12
and it was just,
it was what we did.
00:06:29.15\00:06:31.62
Actually my parents
had formed a little group
00:06:31.65\00:06:34.39
called the Parton Family...
00:06:34.42\00:06:35.76
Okay, all right.
00:06:35.79\00:06:37.13
It was my sister, I
have an older sister
00:06:37.16\00:06:38.49
and so it was the Parton trio.
00:06:38.53\00:06:39.86
Okay.
00:06:39.89\00:06:41.20
And so when I came
along, that was just,
00:06:41.23\00:06:43.33
it was either get in
or get left, you know,
00:06:43.37\00:06:46.94
so I began to sing when
I was like two and three.
00:06:47.00\00:06:50.77
I remember my mom telling
me that I was singing harmony
00:06:50.81\00:06:55.11
before I was even saying words.
00:06:55.14\00:06:56.75
I would hum
harmony to the radio.
00:06:56.81\00:07:00.15
So it was, you know, it's just,
00:07:00.18\00:07:02.12
that's I didn't have,
00:07:02.15\00:07:04.02
I was just telling
somebody the other day.
00:07:04.05\00:07:06.39
When I graduated high school,
00:07:06.42\00:07:08.42
I didn't wonder
what I was going to do.
00:07:08.46\00:07:12.29
I knew I was going
to be playing music.
00:07:12.33\00:07:14.36
Okay.
00:07:14.40\00:07:15.73
It was just
like, it's so natural
00:07:15.76\00:07:17.10
and I have a son now
00:07:17.17\00:07:18.50
who is getting ready to graduate
00:07:18.53\00:07:19.87
and I'm kind of concerned
about what he's going to do
00:07:19.90\00:07:22.17
because I don't see
that natural inclination
00:07:22.20\00:07:25.21
or supernatural whatever
00:07:25.24\00:07:26.57
or however way you
want to look at it...
00:07:26.61\00:07:27.94
Sure, yeah.
00:07:27.98\00:07:29.31
But, so I'm kind of
concerned about his direction.
00:07:29.34\00:07:31.35
Yeah.
00:07:31.38\00:07:32.71
He's a Christian and he
wants to follow the Lord...
00:07:32.75\00:07:34.12
Yeah, sure.
00:07:34.15\00:07:35.48
But there's no,
you know, specific,
00:07:35.52\00:07:36.85
obvious like it was in my life
00:07:36.89\00:07:39.32
where I went right on
the road out of high school,
00:07:39.35\00:07:41.66
so anyway back to my growing up,
00:07:41.69\00:07:44.49
that was, we sang
four or five times a week.
00:07:44.53\00:07:48.96
Really? Wow.
00:07:49.00\00:07:50.33
Yeah, it was through...
00:07:50.37\00:07:51.70
What kind of music did you do?
00:07:51.73\00:07:53.07
Give... We...
00:07:53.10\00:07:54.44
This is, let me
tell you, I told Tim,
00:07:54.47\00:07:55.80
here's a program
we're going to do today.
00:07:55.84\00:07:57.17
I'm just going
to throw things out
00:07:57.21\00:07:58.54
and see if you
know it and you play it
00:07:58.57\00:08:00.31
whatever happens here.
00:08:00.34\00:08:01.68
But we prayed and asked
for the Holy Spirit to be here
00:08:01.71\00:08:03.98
and we're here today.
00:08:04.01\00:08:05.35
We're not here
to show you anything
00:08:05.38\00:08:07.95
but to worship with you,
00:08:07.98\00:08:09.38
because God inhabits to
praise us of His people,
00:08:09.42\00:08:12.62
and one of the
ways we can praise Him
00:08:12.65\00:08:14.39
is through music.
00:08:14.42\00:08:15.76
So some of you, we
know we get letters
00:08:15.79\00:08:17.16
from those of you
that's incarcerated,
00:08:17.19\00:08:19.13
those of you in
hospitals or nursing homes
00:08:19.16\00:08:21.90
and you say, I really
love it when you all just kind
00:08:21.93\00:08:24.27
of stand around the
piano and sing some songs
00:08:24.30\00:08:27.07
that maybe we might know
too and we can sing with you.
00:08:27.14\00:08:30.11
So today we have a
plan without a plan
00:08:30.14\00:08:33.27
and that is we've
asked the Holy Spirit
00:08:33.31\00:08:35.31
to lead, guide
and direct in this.
00:08:35.34\00:08:37.45
But I told Tim,
00:08:37.48\00:08:38.81
I'm not really
going to tell you,
00:08:38.85\00:08:40.18
I'm going to
throw out some things,
00:08:40.22\00:08:41.55
so this would be one of those...
00:08:41.58\00:08:42.92
In other
words... Something that...
00:08:42.95\00:08:44.29
You are going to
put me on the spot.
00:08:44.32\00:08:45.65
Yeah, something that you
did when you were really young
00:08:45.69\00:08:47.02
with your family,
what kind of music...
00:08:47.06\00:08:48.39
I remember one
of the first songs
00:08:48.42\00:08:49.76
that my sister and I sang was...
00:08:49.79\00:08:51.13
This little light of mine,
00:08:51.16\00:08:53.83
I'm gonna let it shine
00:08:53.90\00:08:56.87
This little light of mine,
00:08:56.93\00:08:59.80
I'm gonna let it shine
00:08:59.83\00:09:02.80
This little light of mine,
00:09:02.84\00:09:05.84
I'm gonna let it shine
00:09:05.87\00:09:08.08
Let it shine, let
it shine, let it shine
00:09:08.11\00:09:10.88
One more time,
you sing it now...
00:09:10.91\00:09:14.85
This little light of mine,
00:09:14.88\00:09:17.92
I'm gonna let it shine
00:09:17.95\00:09:21.02
This little light of mine,
00:09:21.06\00:09:23.99
I'm gonna let it shine
00:09:24.06\00:09:27.03
This little light of mine,
00:09:27.03\00:09:30.17
I'm gonna let it shine,
00:09:30.20\00:09:32.47
Let it shine, let it shine,
00:09:32.50\00:09:35.47
let it shine
00:09:35.50\00:09:37.34
And there is something else.
00:09:37.41\00:09:38.74
Let my light
00:09:38.77\00:09:41.38
Shine for Jesus
00:09:41.41\00:09:43.65
Okay.
00:09:43.68\00:09:45.01
Let it shine
00:09:45.05\00:09:47.62
All day through
00:09:47.65\00:09:50.59
Let it shine
00:09:50.62\00:09:53.46
Shine for Jesus
00:09:53.49\00:09:56.39
Let it shine
00:09:56.42\00:09:58.86
Let it shine on you.
00:09:58.89\00:10:00.70
I love it, beautiful.
00:10:00.73\00:10:02.60
Something like that
with my words in it.
00:10:02.63\00:10:03.97
I love it.
00:10:04.03\00:10:05.37
So those are the type of songs,
00:10:05.40\00:10:06.74
was it you
considered gospel music,
00:10:06.77\00:10:08.10
southern gospel music, just...?
00:10:08.14\00:10:09.47
Oh, yeah...
00:10:09.50\00:10:10.84
Or did it, did you do all of it?
00:10:10.87\00:10:12.41
This was back in the '70s...
00:10:12.44\00:10:13.84
Okay.
00:10:13.88\00:10:15.21
And you know, I didn't know
00:10:15.24\00:10:16.58
that there was a
specific southern gospel...
00:10:16.61\00:10:17.95
Okay.
00:10:17.98\00:10:19.31
We just sang, you
know, gospel music...
00:10:19.35\00:10:20.68
Gospel music... Yeah.
00:10:20.72\00:10:22.05
And do you ever do any
of the Lanny Wolfe stuff?
00:10:22.08\00:10:23.79
We did...
00:10:23.85\00:10:25.19
Did you ever hear Lanny
Wolfe before you came here?
00:10:25.22\00:10:26.86
Oh, yeah, definitely...
00:10:26.92\00:10:28.26
Everybody, right?
Oh, my goodness, yeah.
00:10:28.29\00:10:29.62
We had in his
records and yeah, there was,
00:10:29.66\00:10:32.29
we might visit
00:10:32.33\00:10:34.30
just a whole bunch
of different writers
00:10:34.30\00:10:36.20
that we sang from...
00:10:36.23\00:10:37.57
Surely the presence...
Surely the presence...
00:10:37.60\00:10:38.93
Of the Lord. Yeah.
00:10:38.97\00:10:40.30
Yeah, I want you to
play a little bit of that...
00:10:40.37\00:10:41.70
Okay...
00:10:41.74\00:10:43.07
Maybe we'll saying
with you in a minute.
00:10:43.10\00:10:44.44
Do you have a preference
on the key words for you?
00:10:44.47\00:10:45.81
No. well, you know what
I can do and can't do, so.
00:10:45.84\00:10:47.68
Okay.
00:10:47.71\00:10:49.04
Surely the presence
00:11:33.22\00:11:38.09
of the Lord is in this place
00:11:38.13\00:11:43.33
I can feel
00:11:43.40\00:11:45.70
His mighty power
00:11:45.73\00:11:48.74
and His grace
00:11:48.77\00:11:53.41
I can hear
00:11:53.44\00:11:55.71
the brush of angel's wings
00:11:55.74\00:11:59.25
I see glory on each face
00:11:59.28\00:12:04.69
Surely the presence
00:12:04.72\00:12:09.69
of the Lord is in this place.
00:12:09.72\00:12:15.96
Well, it's amazing,
no matter where you go,
00:12:16.00\00:12:18.73
you can feel the
presence of the Lord,
00:12:18.77\00:12:20.40
that's what I love about
it is wherever we travel,
00:12:20.44\00:12:22.90
we never have to
say, "Oh, I'm afraid."
00:12:22.94\00:12:24.81
Now, maybe if we take
ourselves into positions
00:12:24.84\00:12:27.54
we shouldn't be in
00:12:27.58\00:12:28.98
and my folks always tell
me now if you go in a bar,
00:12:29.01\00:12:31.21
the Lord isn't going
to go in there with you.
00:12:31.25\00:12:32.58
Right.
00:12:32.61\00:12:33.98
Your angel's not going
to go in there with you,
00:12:34.02\00:12:35.35
so you're on your own.
00:12:35.38\00:12:36.72
So I never went
in a bar, you know.
00:12:36.75\00:12:38.09
All right, that's
smart, that's smart.
00:12:38.12\00:12:39.45
But it's amazing
that wherever we go
00:12:39.49\00:12:42.02
that God's presence is there.
00:12:42.06\00:12:43.63
Absolutely.
00:12:43.69\00:12:45.03
And whether we're
here on television
00:12:45.06\00:12:46.46
or wherever you are at home,
00:12:46.49\00:12:48.23
right now you
may be by yourself.
00:12:48.26\00:12:50.13
Maybe you've not seen anybody,
haven't heard from your kids
00:12:50.20\00:12:53.47
or, your, you
know, family in any sense
00:12:53.50\00:12:55.84
and you're feeling really down,
you're feeling really lonely
00:12:55.87\00:12:58.34
but you don't have to
be, all you do is say,
00:12:58.37\00:13:00.78
"Lord here I am,
00:13:00.81\00:13:02.14
please come and visit me today."
00:13:02.18\00:13:04.28
And I promise you
He's going to say,
00:13:04.31\00:13:06.25
"Well, I've been here all along,
00:13:06.28\00:13:07.78
you just didn't see me.
00:13:07.82\00:13:09.15
You just didn't hear me."
00:13:09.18\00:13:10.52
And but when we're open to that,
00:13:10.59\00:13:11.92
God will speak to us.
00:13:11.95\00:13:13.66
And that peace will come
that will fill that void.
00:13:13.69\00:13:17.43
And so it's,
00:13:17.46\00:13:18.79
I'm so thankful
today to be a Christian.
00:13:18.83\00:13:21.56
And I'm so thankful
that I have an opportunity.
00:13:21.60\00:13:24.80
I never knew
what I was going to,
00:13:24.83\00:13:26.27
my dad used to say,
00:13:26.30\00:13:27.64
"Son, what are you
going to do with your life?"
00:13:27.67\00:13:29.00
I said, "I don't know."
00:13:29.04\00:13:30.67
Like it was in high school,
he's like you, about your son,
00:13:30.71\00:13:34.48
get through
about my junior year,
00:13:34.51\00:13:35.88
my dad finished eighth grade,
00:13:35.91\00:13:38.41
he was first one in
his family of 12 or 13,
00:13:38.45\00:13:41.72
graduate in eighth grade.
00:13:41.75\00:13:43.18
My mother I think did her
freshman year at high school.
00:13:43.22\00:13:45.79
So they didn't put much
emphasis on education too much
00:13:45.82\00:13:48.46
but they wanted
us to do something.
00:13:48.49\00:13:49.99
So I'd be 16 junior, senior,
00:13:50.03\00:13:52.59
son, what are you
going to do with your life,
00:13:52.63\00:13:53.96
I said, "I don't know.
00:13:54.00\00:13:55.30
I'm just kid."
00:13:55.33\00:13:56.70
He said, "Yeah, but you
graduate in high school,
00:13:56.73\00:13:58.10
what are you going to do?"
00:13:58.13\00:13:59.47
And I said, "I
really don't know."
00:13:59.50\00:14:00.94
And he said, "Well, I think
00:14:00.97\00:14:02.30
it's about time
you figure this out.
00:14:02.34\00:14:03.84
You need to start thinking."
00:14:03.91\00:14:05.24
So one day, Tim,
00:14:05.27\00:14:06.61
they had a senior
class in West Frankfort,
00:14:06.64\00:14:08.98
we went down, it was 1969
00:14:09.01\00:14:11.58
to Southern Illinois University,
00:14:11.61\00:14:13.28
big university in Carbondale.
00:14:13.31\00:14:15.55
And it was
orientation of course,
00:14:15.58\00:14:16.99
what they're doing is
00:14:17.02\00:14:18.35
trying to get all
the students from here
00:14:18.39\00:14:20.29
to go to college there.
00:14:20.36\00:14:22.16
So first time in my life,
I went to a college campus.
00:14:22.19\00:14:25.19
I said, "Wow
this is pretty good."
00:14:25.23\00:14:27.10
But, you know,
you're in late '60s
00:14:27.13\00:14:28.80
and you are
starting the hippie movement
00:14:28.83\00:14:30.17
and all these things
are going but I said,
00:14:30.23\00:14:32.23
"Maybe I'll go to college."
00:14:32.27\00:14:33.60
My older brothers, none
of them had gone to college.
00:14:33.64\00:14:36.17
So maybe I'll do that.
00:14:36.20\00:14:37.57
So I go home, I said,
I want to talk to my dad
00:14:37.61\00:14:40.04
'cause he's always
what are you going to do.
00:14:40.08\00:14:41.88
We had a little music room,
00:14:41.91\00:14:43.24
it's just we
called it music room,
00:14:43.31\00:14:44.65
we had a little reel to
reel Sony tape recorder,
00:14:44.68\00:14:47.28
guitars and big
speakers he had built
00:14:47.32\00:14:49.42
and people would
come over, his friends
00:14:49.45\00:14:51.32
and they play it
every Tuesday night
00:14:51.35\00:14:52.89
and, you know, things like this.
00:14:52.92\00:14:54.49
So I would go in there
00:14:54.52\00:14:56.09
and my dad was
sitting on a stool,
00:14:56.12\00:14:58.03
I'll never forget,
00:14:58.06\00:14:59.39
had a
microphone, little recorder,
00:14:59.43\00:15:01.20
he was playing his
guitar, I said, "Dad."
00:15:01.23\00:15:03.40
"Yeah, son?"
00:15:03.47\00:15:04.80
I said, "You always ask me
00:15:04.83\00:15:06.50
what I'm going
to do with my life?"
00:15:06.53\00:15:07.87
I said, "I think, I
know what I want to do."
00:15:07.90\00:15:09.70
"Really, what's that?"
00:15:09.74\00:15:11.07
Didn't hardly, you
know, hardly looked around,
00:15:11.11\00:15:12.84
said "Really what's that?"
00:15:12.87\00:15:14.21
I said, "I want
to go to college."
00:15:14.28\00:15:16.58
He looked back and he said,
00:15:16.61\00:15:17.98
"That's what I
like about you son,
00:15:18.01\00:15:19.41
you're always joking."
00:15:19.45\00:15:20.92
And then he just went on back
and I walked away and I'm like,
00:15:20.95\00:15:23.69
"Wow, who do I think
I am to go to college?"
00:15:23.72\00:15:25.62
I mean, I didn't know
anything about grants awaited...
00:15:25.65\00:15:27.59
Sure, sure.
00:15:27.66\00:15:28.99
So I didn't do it,
you know, point is,
00:15:29.02\00:15:30.46
but the Lord had
a plan for my life.
00:15:30.53\00:15:32.26
God's got a
plan for your life...
00:15:32.29\00:15:33.73
Absolutely does.
00:15:33.80\00:15:35.10
Maybe you don't know
00:15:35.13\00:15:36.46
the direction God
wants you to go right now.
00:15:36.50\00:15:37.83
Now that could be the teenager,
00:15:37.87\00:15:39.50
that could be
the person in college
00:15:39.53\00:15:40.94
or you might be my age or older,
00:15:40.97\00:15:42.37
you might be
75, still wondering.
00:15:42.40\00:15:44.47
Now wonder what it
is God wants me to do
00:15:44.51\00:15:46.41
as long as we have breath,
00:15:46.44\00:15:48.18
you know, let everything
that has breath do what?
00:15:48.21\00:15:51.05
Praise the Lord. Absolutely.
00:15:51.08\00:15:53.01
And so I'm so
thankful, I got in construction.
00:15:53.05\00:15:55.85
My brother and I, we
had a construction company
00:15:55.88\00:15:57.82
about, oh, I don't
know, 13, 14 years,
00:15:57.85\00:16:00.09
then I went to Michigan,
00:16:00.12\00:16:01.46
managed a lumber yard
there in Berrien Springs,
00:16:01.49\00:16:03.89
you know, Andrews University...
00:16:03.96\00:16:06.19
Came back down here in '79,
00:16:06.23\00:16:08.93
Melody's mother and I
00:16:08.96\00:16:10.30
and the girls we
had Ronda and Lisa.
00:16:10.37\00:16:12.50
She had two girls
when we were married
00:16:12.53\00:16:14.17
and so we had a little group.
00:16:14.24\00:16:15.57
So we started
traveling and singing,
00:16:15.60\00:16:17.51
then of course she was
killed in an automobile accident
00:16:17.54\00:16:19.74
in 1982
00:16:19.77\00:16:21.11
but Melody and I,
we continued singing
00:16:21.14\00:16:23.45
as she got older
00:16:23.48\00:16:24.81
and I praise God
today that she still does.
00:16:24.85\00:16:26.38
So train up a child
in a way it should go,
00:16:26.41\00:16:28.28
now it doesn't mean
anybody, everybody is perfect
00:16:28.32\00:16:30.49
'cause none of us are,
00:16:30.52\00:16:32.02
but like you, where would you be
00:16:32.05\00:16:33.39
without the training
from your folks today?
00:16:33.46\00:16:35.52
Right.
00:16:35.56\00:16:36.96
I think about that
00:16:37.03\00:16:38.36
and my older sister
and I talk about that
00:16:38.39\00:16:41.60
and the great memories
00:16:41.63\00:16:42.96
that we have not
only the training
00:16:43.00\00:16:45.60
and the godly influence
00:16:45.63\00:16:48.00
that my parents
instilled within us
00:16:48.04\00:16:50.27
and being around people,
00:16:50.31\00:16:51.91
being in churches and singing
00:16:51.94\00:16:53.84
and just being,
00:16:53.88\00:16:55.21
having a community of
people of fellow believers,
00:16:55.24\00:16:58.41
but the words of
the songs that we sang,
00:16:58.45\00:17:03.08
they come into play so
much in our daily lives,
00:17:03.12\00:17:06.35
we're just going through life
00:17:06.39\00:17:08.16
and I'll be
walking down the street
00:17:08.19\00:17:09.52
or driving down the street
00:17:09.56\00:17:10.89
and a song will come to
me, lyrics will come to me
00:17:10.96\00:17:13.86
that provide direction
for me in a situation that,
00:17:13.93\00:17:18.73
you know, I would
never have thought that,
00:17:18.77\00:17:20.24
that song would have given me
some guidance, some clearance,
00:17:20.27\00:17:23.81
some clarity on what to do.
00:17:23.84\00:17:25.41
In fact, let me
just sing a song...
00:17:25.44\00:17:27.48
Yeah. This is a
great little song.
00:17:27.51\00:17:28.94
Now you might not think
that this was very applicable
00:17:28.98\00:17:32.25
but even more so
now that, you know,
00:17:32.28\00:17:34.42
when you get older you
realize what you were singing
00:17:34.45\00:17:35.95
when you were a little kid...
00:17:35.98\00:17:37.32
All right, let's do it.
00:17:37.39\00:17:38.72
And so this is a
great Steward Hamblin song.
00:17:38.75\00:17:40.89
It's kind of a, he
wrote, how big is God...
00:17:40.96\00:17:42.62
Oh, yeah.
00:17:42.66\00:17:44.03
The great song
00:17:44.06\00:17:45.39
and this old house
wants to my children,
00:17:45.43\00:17:47.00
you know, that one,
it's great, great song.
00:17:47.03\00:17:48.33
I know you got the base,
but you got it there, okay.
00:17:48.36\00:17:50.03
I got something.
00:17:50.07\00:17:52.07
But this is a great little
tune that, just a lot of fun.
00:17:52.10\00:17:56.24
My mamma told me something
00:18:01.14\00:18:03.88
That everyone should know
00:18:03.91\00:18:06.25
And it's all about the devil
00:18:06.28\00:18:08.78
And I've learned to hate him so
00:18:08.82\00:18:11.59
She says he causes trouble
00:18:11.62\00:18:13.99
When you let him in the room
00:18:14.02\00:18:16.42
He will never ever leave you
00:18:16.46\00:18:19.06
If your heart is
filled with gloom
00:18:19.09\00:18:21.23
So let the sun shine in
00:18:21.26\00:18:24.73
Face it with a grin
00:18:24.77\00:18:27.14
Smilers never lose
00:18:27.17\00:18:29.10
And frowners never win
00:18:29.14\00:18:31.14
So let the sun shine in
00:18:31.17\00:18:34.84
Face it with a grin
00:18:34.88\00:18:37.28
Open up your heart
and let the sun shine in
00:18:37.35\00:18:43.12
When I forget to say my prayers
00:18:43.15\00:18:45.85
The devil jumps with glee
00:18:45.89\00:18:47.92
But he feels so awful, awful
00:18:47.96\00:18:50.43
When he sees me on my knees
00:18:50.46\00:18:53.16
So if you're full of trouble
00:18:53.19\00:18:55.36
And you never seem to win
00:18:55.40\00:18:58.17
Just open up your heart
and let the sun shine in
00:18:58.20\00:19:03.84
So let the sun shine in
00:19:03.87\00:19:07.24
Face it with a grin
00:19:07.31\00:19:09.64
Smilers never lose
00:19:09.68\00:19:11.75
And frowners never ever win
00:19:11.78\00:19:13.75
So let the sun shine in
00:19:13.78\00:19:17.12
Face it with a grin
00:19:17.15\00:19:19.12
Open up your heart
and let the sun shine in.
00:19:19.15\00:19:26.53
I love it. Something like that.
00:19:30.87\00:19:32.20
We sing, I sing
that as a kid but...
00:19:32.23\00:19:33.74
Did you?
00:19:33.77\00:19:35.10
I didn't know
had all those words,
00:19:35.14\00:19:36.57
I don't know where I
learned, I learned at home
00:19:36.60\00:19:38.64
but maybe our folks
didn't have all the words,
00:19:38.67\00:19:40.28
that's, that's really neat.
00:19:40.31\00:19:42.78
Those are great lyrics.
00:19:42.81\00:19:44.15
30 years later, 40 years
later you're still got those in,
00:19:44.18\00:19:47.45
you know...
00:19:47.52\00:19:48.85
Right, yeah...
Frowners never win...
00:19:48.88\00:19:51.22
Simlers never
lose... Simlers never lose.
00:19:51.25\00:19:52.59
Right, exactly.
00:19:52.62\00:19:53.96
I love it 'cause we've
read the back of the book.
00:19:53.99\00:19:55.62
And Revelation says
they overcame him, Satan,
00:19:55.66\00:19:58.36
by the blood of the Lamb.
00:19:58.39\00:19:59.73
And the word of the testimony.
And the word of the testimony.
00:19:59.76\00:20:01.06
That's exactly right.
00:20:01.10\00:20:02.43
And so it says we
win, so there we go.
00:20:02.46\00:20:04.07
And you know
the power of a smile
00:20:04.13\00:20:06.70
and you know the
power of a frown.
00:20:06.74\00:20:08.30
Yeah, absolutely.
00:20:08.34\00:20:09.67
And when you see
somebody with a smile,
00:20:09.70\00:20:11.04
you are more apt to
go up and talk to him
00:20:11.07\00:20:13.17
and you know the
power of a frown,
00:20:13.21\00:20:14.98
you want to turn
away and walk, leave him.
00:20:15.01\00:20:17.61
Yeah.
00:20:17.65\00:20:18.98
So yeah, those
little nuggets like that...
00:20:19.01\00:20:21.12
Yeah, yeah.
00:20:21.15\00:20:22.48
Will make life
learning to deal with life,
00:20:22.52\00:20:25.39
I believe Christ walks with
us and the Spirit lives in me
00:20:25.42\00:20:29.56
and gives me the
ability to handle situations,
00:20:29.59\00:20:32.66
but little tips like
smiling and, you know...
00:20:32.69\00:20:37.60
Absolutely, being happy. Yeah.
00:20:37.63\00:20:39.83
It's just, you can't
smile without being happy.
00:20:39.87\00:20:42.14
Right, right. I
mean, how many...
00:20:42.17\00:20:43.54
That's a lot of good advice.
00:20:43.57\00:20:44.91
How many angry people do
you know that are smiling?
00:20:44.94\00:20:47.31
You know, they're not,
right? They're not, right.
00:20:47.34\00:20:48.68
So smilers win.
00:20:48.71\00:20:50.98
Right. That's true. Right.
00:20:51.01\00:20:52.41
Frowners don't,
so there you go...
00:20:52.45\00:20:53.78
Good advice, good
advice. That's great advice.
00:20:53.85\00:20:55.18
Take it to the bank.
We'll stop the program today.
00:20:55.22\00:20:56.92
Now play a little
better, sing a little bit of
00:20:56.95\00:20:58.82
''This Ole House".
00:20:58.85\00:21:00.26
Oh my goodness, I
don't know that's...
00:21:00.29\00:21:01.62
You don't have to
play or do the bass
00:21:01.66\00:21:02.99
but, oh, you remember the...
00:21:03.02\00:21:04.36
I really, I just knew that line.
00:21:04.39\00:21:05.73
You know how the tune goes?
00:21:05.76\00:21:07.20
Ain't a-gonna need
this house no longer
00:21:39.46\00:21:41.76
I'm a-gettin'
ready to meet the saints.
00:21:41.80\00:21:45.23
Let's see if I know the words,
I don't know, if I do, bless...
00:21:45.27\00:21:47.87
This ole house
once knew my children
00:21:47.90\00:21:50.54
This ole house once knew my wife
00:21:50.57\00:21:53.07
This ole house
once rang with laughter
00:21:53.11\00:21:55.54
As it stood the storms with life
00:21:55.58\00:21:58.25
This ole house is gettin' old
00:21:58.28\00:22:00.95
And I feel no fear or pain
00:22:00.98\00:22:03.42
For I see an angel peekin'
00:22:03.49\00:22:05.79
Through a broken window pane
00:22:05.82\00:22:09.19
Need this house no longer.
00:22:09.22\00:22:10.56
Yeah.
00:22:10.63\00:22:11.96
Ain't a-gonna
need this house no more
00:22:11.99\00:22:13.60
Ain't got time
to fix the shingles
00:22:13.63\00:22:16.20
Ain't got time to fix the floor
00:22:16.23\00:22:18.70
Ain't got time to oil the hinges
00:22:18.73\00:22:21.20
Nor to mend the window panes.
00:22:21.24\00:22:23.57
Ain't a-gonna need
this house no longer
00:22:23.61\00:22:26.21
I'm a-gettin'
ready to meet the saints.
00:22:26.24\00:22:30.35
I said I didn't even
know, I knew those words...
00:22:30.41\00:22:31.75
That's great,
yeah. Isn't that crazy?
00:22:31.78\00:22:33.58
And that's what we're
just talking about things
00:22:33.62\00:22:35.38
that you listen to,
things that you hear,
00:22:35.42\00:22:39.12
I'm 65 years old and
there's hardly a day go by
00:22:39.15\00:22:42.36
I don't think of something
when I'm making decisions
00:22:42.39\00:22:44.83
that my dad told me
when I was a young person
00:22:44.86\00:22:47.83
'cause he had so
much common sense.
00:22:47.86\00:22:49.16
Yeah, wow.
00:22:49.20\00:22:50.53
He didn't make it
through the educational,
00:22:50.60\00:22:53.13
you know, system...
00:22:53.17\00:22:54.50
But he sure did when
it came to common sense...
00:22:54.54\00:22:56.00
Right, right.
00:22:56.04\00:22:57.37
And how to deal with
people but things like that,
00:22:57.44\00:22:59.87
this ole house
once knew my children...
00:22:59.91\00:23:01.31
Isn't that great?
00:23:01.34\00:23:02.68
Well, you know,
they say children, right?
00:23:02.71\00:23:04.05
This ole house
once knew my children.
00:23:04.08\00:23:05.41
I noticed you said that.
00:23:05.45\00:23:06.82
This ole house
once knew my wife.
00:23:06.85\00:23:08.18
That's good.
00:23:08.22\00:23:09.55
And I don't remember
where, but Tennessee Ernie Ford,
00:23:09.58\00:23:10.92
didn't he used to do that...
00:23:10.95\00:23:12.29
I think so Rosemary
Clooney sang as well.
00:23:12.32\00:23:13.66
Oh, yeah. Did she
really? Yes, yeah.
00:23:13.69\00:23:15.02
Okay, a lot of those
folk. Yeah, great. Great songs.
00:23:15.06\00:23:16.39
What else did you say
he did, Stuart Hamblen,
00:23:16.42\00:23:17.76
he was a great writer.
00:23:17.79\00:23:19.13
Yeah, he did ''How Big is God.''
00:23:19.16\00:23:20.50
Oh, yeah. Then
there was a great song.
00:23:20.53\00:23:22.73
It is no secret.
00:23:30.67\00:23:32.01
Was that someone you
00:23:37.31\00:23:40.42
You may have long
for added strength
00:23:40.48\00:23:45.55
Your courage to renew
00:23:45.59\00:23:50.89
Do not be disheartened
00:23:50.93\00:23:55.40
for I bring news to you.
00:23:55.43\00:23:59.27
Sing in chorus, Tim.
00:23:59.30\00:24:01.77
It is no secret
00:24:01.80\00:24:07.68
What God can do
00:24:07.71\00:24:13.21
What He's done for others
00:24:13.25\00:24:18.62
He'll do for you
00:24:18.65\00:24:24.13
With arms wide open
00:24:24.16\00:24:29.90
He'll part anew
00:24:29.93\00:24:35.27
It is no secret
00:24:35.30\00:24:41.21
What God can do.
00:24:41.24\00:24:49.02
Wow, now that is going way back.
00:24:49.05\00:24:52.32
The time went out.
00:24:52.35\00:24:53.72
So people saying are you
sure they doesn't know...
00:24:53.76\00:24:55.26
Really, this is
neat, I love doing this
00:24:55.29\00:24:57.13
'cause it's like
just sitting around like
00:24:57.19\00:24:58.89
we used to do with kids at home,
00:24:58.93\00:25:00.63
my dad would
start, give me a key
00:25:00.66\00:25:01.96
for like
suppertime, you remember that?
00:25:02.00\00:25:03.33
Oh, yeah, let me see it.
00:25:03.37\00:25:04.87
We'll give a
little bit of tempo to it.
00:25:04.90\00:25:07.24
When I was but a boy
00:25:07.27\00:25:10.54
In days of childhood
00:25:10.61\00:25:15.98
I used to play
00:25:16.01\00:25:18.78
Till evening shadows fall
00:25:18.81\00:25:26.32
Then winding down
00:25:26.35\00:25:28.59
An ole familiar pathway
00:25:28.62\00:25:35.33
I would hear my Mother call
00:25:35.36\00:25:39.70
At set of sun
00:25:39.73\00:25:44.74
Come home, come home
00:25:44.77\00:25:49.51
It's supper time
00:25:49.54\00:25:54.28
The shadows lengthened fast
00:25:54.32\00:26:02.12
Sing it come home now.
00:26:02.16\00:26:03.66
Come home, come home
00:26:03.69\00:26:08.26
It's supper time
00:26:08.30\00:26:13.10
We're going home
00:26:13.13\00:26:17.67
At last.
00:26:17.71\00:26:21.81
All right, wow. Yes.
00:26:21.84\00:26:24.25
Those are neat songs
and some of the great songs,
00:26:24.28\00:26:27.42
I mean, there's a lot of
beautiful songs written today
00:26:27.45\00:26:29.85
but I think some
of the greatest songs
00:26:29.88\00:26:31.92
ever written.
00:26:31.95\00:26:33.29
We did on the
program not too long ago,
00:26:33.36\00:26:34.72
I come to the garden alone.
00:26:34.76\00:26:36.09
I mean, where do
you find a song for me
00:26:36.12\00:26:39.09
that ministers to
me like this song.
00:26:39.13\00:26:42.50
I mean, I come
to the garden alone.
00:26:42.53\00:26:43.87
Would you play a
little bit, maybe?
00:26:43.93\00:26:45.27
Yes, I will.
00:26:45.30\00:26:46.63
And He walks with me
00:27:23.41\00:27:30.05
And He talks with me
00:27:30.08\00:27:34.45
And He tells me
00:27:34.48\00:27:37.92
I am His own
00:27:37.95\00:27:43.22
And the joy we share
00:27:43.26\00:27:47.76
As we tarry there
00:27:47.83\00:27:54.40
None other
00:27:54.44\00:27:58.04
Has ever known.
00:27:58.07\00:28:02.91
I like this
second verse, it says.
00:28:02.94\00:28:06.65
He speaks
00:28:06.68\00:28:09.05
And the sound of His voice
00:28:09.08\00:28:14.89
Is so sweet
00:28:14.92\00:28:18.23
The birds hush their singing
00:28:18.26\00:28:24.70
And the melody
00:28:24.73\00:28:29.47
That He gave to me
00:28:29.50\00:28:34.11
Within my heart
00:28:34.18\00:28:38.98
Is ringing.
00:28:39.01\00:28:43.18
Sing it at home with me.
00:28:43.22\00:28:45.35
And He walks with me
00:28:45.39\00:28:50.43
And He talks with me
00:28:50.46\00:28:55.13
And He tells me
00:28:55.16\00:28:58.20
I am His own
00:28:58.23\00:29:03.94
And the joy we share
00:29:03.97\00:29:08.74
As we tarry there
00:29:08.78\00:29:15.62
None other
00:29:15.65\00:29:19.45
Has ever known.
00:29:19.49\00:29:27.40
Amen, what beautiful songs.
00:29:32.90\00:29:35.24
Then there's a
lot a up tempo songs
00:29:35.27\00:29:39.24
that I remember
00:29:39.27\00:29:40.61
when I was a kid
growing up in our church.
00:29:40.68\00:29:43.24
We used to go and
then Sabbath afternoon
00:29:43.28\00:29:45.18
we had these
young people's meetings.
00:29:45.21\00:29:48.05
We used to go
sometimes in the afternoon
00:29:48.08\00:29:50.42
and we'd like the younger kids,
00:29:50.49\00:29:51.82
you want some
more up tempo songs.
00:29:51.85\00:29:53.56
So I'm gonna let's see
00:29:53.59\00:29:54.92
what some of them like He Lives
00:29:54.96\00:29:57.26
or Onward Christian
Soldiers, or something,
00:29:57.33\00:29:59.86
I want you to give us a little.
00:29:59.89\00:30:01.20
I told Tim, I'd
put him on the spot.
00:30:01.23\00:30:02.96
So give us a little of
that. I say bring it, I love it.
00:30:03.00\00:30:05.50
All right.
00:31:10.33\00:31:11.67
Yeah, that's good.
Oh, that is. I love it.
00:31:56.48\00:31:59.11
Not my playing,
I mean this song.
00:31:59.15\00:32:00.55
No, no, no, it's
great. Yeah, it's good stuff.
00:32:00.62\00:32:01.95
And I want to ask you,
00:32:01.98\00:32:03.32
we were talking about
education a while ago.
00:32:03.35\00:32:05.69
You apparently graduated
00:32:05.72\00:32:07.06
from the
Juilliard School of Music,
00:32:07.09\00:32:08.79
is that true?
00:32:08.82\00:32:10.16
In my dreams I did
but no, I play by ear.
00:32:10.23\00:32:14.30
You play by ear.
00:32:14.30\00:32:15.63
Now, come on, I mean
00:32:15.66\00:32:17.03
you hit every note on the piano.
00:32:17.07\00:32:18.40
I was temped to
take this water...
00:32:18.43\00:32:19.77
Well, that's just because...
00:32:19.80\00:32:21.14
I think piano was so expensive,
00:32:21.17\00:32:22.50
I though it was
going to catch on,
00:32:22.54\00:32:23.87
I thought, I saw smoking here.
00:32:23.91\00:32:25.24
Well, no, I played every note
00:32:25.27\00:32:26.61
just in case I find
one that works, that so,
00:32:26.64\00:32:28.94
I was searching for the melody.
00:32:28.98\00:32:30.55
No, when I was,
actually when I was born
00:32:30.61\00:32:34.28
my parents had
already purchased a piano
00:32:34.32\00:32:36.12
for my older sister.
00:32:36.15\00:32:37.49
One of those spin it,
you know, just the half way
00:32:37.55\00:32:40.42
and so she didn't take
a liking to it as we say.
00:32:40.46\00:32:43.99
So I'm kind of one of those
with obligated personality,
00:32:44.03\00:32:46.90
I felt like I needed to,
00:32:46.96\00:32:48.26
you know, make use of the
piano since my sister didn't.
00:32:48.30\00:32:50.83
I always like to give
her a hard time about that
00:32:50.90\00:32:53.03
but I crawled up there,
00:32:53.07\00:32:55.27
I remember as early as age two,
00:32:55.30\00:32:57.67
crawling up and just, you know,
beginning to get the feel of it
00:32:57.71\00:33:01.54
and then, you know,
00:33:01.58\00:33:03.58
naturally as I didn't know
what I was doing at the time
00:33:03.65\00:33:06.08
but I just found
00:33:06.11\00:33:07.98
that I had a kind of
a natural drawing to it,
00:33:08.02\00:33:11.69
a supernatural drawing to it.
00:33:11.72\00:33:13.49
And I mean surely you took,
you know, you started lessons
00:33:13.56\00:33:16.66
and you started
taking lessons for years.
00:33:16.73\00:33:18.49
Okay, so what I did was I
took when I was at age six,
00:33:18.53\00:33:21.96
I took piano
lessons when I was, yeah,
00:33:22.00\00:33:25.87
just I turned six
00:33:25.90\00:33:28.17
and I took for two years
00:33:28.20\00:33:30.27
and I always say
00:33:30.31\00:33:31.64
that I couldn't
teach the teacher anything,
00:33:31.67\00:33:34.14
so but that's really silly
00:33:34.18\00:33:36.04
but honestly what happened was
00:33:36.08\00:33:38.18
I remember going in
one day at the lesson,
00:33:38.21\00:33:43.85
I played the song exactly right
but I was in the wrong key.
00:33:43.89\00:33:47.42
Oh.
00:33:47.46\00:33:48.79
So I had asked the
teacher to play the song for me
00:33:48.82\00:33:51.83
before I left
the previous lesson
00:33:51.86\00:33:53.90
and I had memorized it
00:33:53.96\00:33:55.26
and just didn't catch
the right key signature.
00:33:55.30\00:33:58.13
So I gave myself a way,
00:33:58.17\00:33:59.57
so my parents said
fully on this as they say.
00:33:59.60\00:34:02.37
Why spend the money
00:34:02.40\00:34:03.74
when you didn't
need the lessons.
00:34:03.81\00:34:05.14
Exactly, well I could
have, I wish that I, you know,
00:34:05.17\00:34:07.18
as every person now who
desires to play the piano,
00:34:07.21\00:34:11.71
they grew up, their parents
will give them the opportunity,
00:34:11.75\00:34:15.62
you know, to take lessons,
00:34:15.65\00:34:16.99
I wish that I would
have pursued my music
00:34:17.02\00:34:19.12
even further in
and through education
00:34:19.15\00:34:22.22
because
honestly, I have struggled
00:34:22.26\00:34:24.36
with feeling
like I was legitimate.
00:34:24.39\00:34:27.73
Oh, my, my...
00:34:27.76\00:34:29.06
And, you know, I'm not
being pitiful, it's truthful.
00:34:29.10\00:34:31.63
And a lot of people
I'm sure feel that way
00:34:31.67\00:34:33.20
when they have a natural gift
00:34:33.23\00:34:36.87
that you feel like
00:34:36.91\00:34:38.24
you need a degree or a
diploma something to prove...
00:34:38.27\00:34:41.94
I'll give you one. Okay.
00:34:41.98\00:34:43.45
I'll give you one I'll write it.
00:34:43.51\00:34:44.85
From the Danny Shelton
School of music, I love it.
00:34:44.88\00:34:47.08
Well, that will
be worth something,
00:34:47.12\00:34:48.68
as long as I can
have a cap and gown...
00:34:48.72\00:34:51.09
What lessons would do
00:34:51.12\00:34:52.45
because most of
the people that I know,
00:34:52.49\00:34:54.86
I mean, I have friends who,
00:34:54.89\00:34:56.89
they play a little
bit and they'll say,
00:34:56.93\00:34:58.53
I took ten years
of piano as a child
00:34:58.56\00:35:01.50
but they can't play anything
unless it's in front of them.
00:35:01.53\00:35:04.70
But now you, if we put
a song in front of you,
00:35:04.73\00:35:07.14
you could play a little
bit enough just to hear it.
00:35:07.17\00:35:09.70
Yeah, it would
be painful at first.
00:35:09.74\00:35:12.07
Because I'm not
good at sight reading.
00:35:12.11\00:35:14.74
And I would want to take time
and wood shed it as they say.
00:35:14.78\00:35:18.98
But you know, I was listening
00:35:19.01\00:35:21.08
to somebody
talking just this morning,
00:35:21.12\00:35:23.99
talking about the
10,000 hour concept,
00:35:24.02\00:35:28.32
I don't know if you've
heard how it takes 10, 000 hours
00:35:28.36\00:35:31.53
to master something.
00:35:31.56\00:35:32.89
Really?
00:35:32.93\00:35:34.30
Music is something,
again, growing up in it,
00:35:34.30\00:35:37.90
that's all I've known.
00:35:37.93\00:35:39.27
So thus I've been blessed,
00:35:39.30\00:35:41.87
I was blessed to
be in that position.
00:35:41.90\00:35:43.97
But I had a reason to practice
00:35:44.01\00:35:46.57
which I didn't even know I
was practicing at the time,
00:35:46.64\00:35:49.18
I was just
playing to learn the songs
00:35:49.21\00:35:51.08
that my family was
going to be singing.
00:35:51.11\00:35:52.65
So I always encourage
people, if you want to,
00:35:52.68\00:35:55.45
want to be good at something,
have a reason to do it
00:35:55.48\00:35:59.49
and then if you don't
want to embarrass yourself
00:35:59.52\00:36:01.62
in the public
00:36:01.66\00:36:02.99
while you'll
learn how to do that
00:36:03.02\00:36:05.53
but it takes a
lifetime of committing
00:36:05.56\00:36:07.40
and you can't be
good at several things.
00:36:07.46\00:36:09.03
Yes.
00:36:09.06\00:36:10.40
You know, you have to pick
a field that you're good at
00:36:10.47\00:36:12.50
and then pay
somebody to mow the yard.
00:36:12.53\00:36:15.50
My dad once again used to say,
00:36:15.54\00:36:17.77
"Son you're a jack of all
trades and master of none."
00:36:17.81\00:36:19.81
Oh, wow.
00:36:19.84\00:36:21.18
'Cause I like doing everything
and when ball season was in,
00:36:21.21\00:36:23.95
no matter what kind of,
00:36:23.98\00:36:25.31
if it's a
baseball, ping-pong ball,
00:36:25.35\00:36:27.02
basketball, you know,
I'd find something to do
00:36:27.05\00:36:30.29
but I'd love to do music too.
00:36:30.32\00:36:32.02
So I'd do music and
then I'd play ball some more,
00:36:32.05\00:36:34.56
then I got into construction,
then I do this and I do that.
00:36:34.59\00:36:37.89
So consequently,
00:36:37.93\00:36:39.43
I can do a little
bit of a number of things
00:36:39.46\00:36:41.43
but really didn't master but...
00:36:41.46\00:36:43.43
But you're a great communicator
and that's what I do love...
00:36:43.47\00:36:46.23
That I've probably put a whole
lot more than 10,000 hours in.
00:36:46.27\00:36:49.37
Well, sure.
Well, sure, yeah. Sure.
00:36:49.40\00:36:51.57
But you know, in all the
things that you were doing
00:36:51.61\00:36:53.48
and all those
skills that you had,
00:36:53.54\00:36:55.21
you were using that
gift of communication
00:36:55.24\00:36:57.31
to get the job or to...
00:36:57.35\00:36:59.55
Yeah, I talk, my brothers used
to get so upset at me at home,
00:36:59.58\00:37:02.52
they were older and I
was the youngest brother
00:37:02.55\00:37:04.12
out of four boys
00:37:04.15\00:37:05.49
and my younger sister
Tammy came eight years after me
00:37:05.52\00:37:07.99
and they'd be and I'd
sing around the house and say,
00:37:08.02\00:37:10.86
"Dad, won't you make
him shout up, he sings."
00:37:10.89\00:37:13.33
And my dad said, "As
long as he wants to sing,
00:37:13.36\00:37:15.63
he's happy, we're
going to let him be happy
00:37:15.66\00:37:17.40
Now if he's
crying or being fussy
00:37:17.47\00:37:19.40
then I'll work on him."
00:37:19.43\00:37:20.77
He'd say and I
knew what that meant.
00:37:20.84\00:37:22.17
Right.
00:37:22.20\00:37:23.54
That wasn't like some
parents say work on you,
00:37:23.57\00:37:24.91
my folks knew it and my dad knew
00:37:24.94\00:37:26.27
how to work on you...
00:37:26.31\00:37:27.64
Right. Usually it
was with the belt.
00:37:27.68\00:37:29.01
You know, well, people
going to say what they want,
00:37:29.04\00:37:30.38
but I'm glad that
he loved me enough
00:37:30.41\00:37:32.45
to take care of me
00:37:32.48\00:37:34.02
when I was out of line
00:37:34.05\00:37:35.82
and give you some hope
00:37:35.85\00:37:37.19
and some vision for the future
of what we really want to do.
00:37:37.22\00:37:40.26
But I think God, now I
learned from my parents,
00:37:40.29\00:37:43.43
my parents came in,
it was a different era
00:37:43.46\00:37:46.09
and there was more if
you, if I can use this word,
00:37:46.13\00:37:48.50
you might understand with me,
legalism of do's and don'ts...
00:37:48.53\00:37:51.47
Sure.
00:37:51.50\00:37:52.83
So well, this is you
can't do this, you can do this,
00:37:52.87\00:37:54.77
you can't do that.
00:37:54.80\00:37:56.14
So I didn't really understand,
00:37:56.17\00:37:58.01
I knew I wanted
to be a Christian,
00:37:58.04\00:37:59.37
I tried but I
didn't really understand
00:37:59.41\00:38:02.31
a relationship with Jesus.
00:38:02.34\00:38:04.35
And that freedom, it gives me,
00:38:04.38\00:38:06.68
doesn't give me the
freedom to go out and sin...
00:38:06.75\00:38:08.68
Right.
00:38:08.72\00:38:10.05
But it gives me the
freedom to love Jesus
00:38:10.12\00:38:12.52
and to say thank you
Lord, I want to serve you...
00:38:12.55\00:38:14.96
Right.
00:38:14.99\00:38:16.32
And now I don't
worry about people say,
00:38:16.36\00:38:17.76
"Well, what do
you do on a Sabbath?
00:38:17.79\00:38:19.73
You know, when my
folks say, you know,
00:38:19.76\00:38:21.06
now you are not
going out and play ball,
00:38:21.10\00:38:22.70
you are not going
to watch television,
00:38:22.73\00:38:24.07
you are not going
to do these things
00:38:24.10\00:38:25.70
and that's the best they knew
00:38:25.73\00:38:27.24
how to tell us as
kids but I tell people,
00:38:27.27\00:38:29.47
don't worry about
what you can't do,
00:38:29.50\00:38:31.31
worry about what you can do.
00:38:31.34\00:38:32.87
You spend time with
God, with your family,
00:38:32.91\00:38:34.98
with church family,
you can go out in nature,
00:38:35.01\00:38:36.85
there's so many
things, spend time studying,
00:38:36.88\00:38:38.98
not having to spend time
00:38:39.01\00:38:40.35
worrying about
your bills, right?
00:38:40.42\00:38:41.75
Your payments,
worrying about things
00:38:41.78\00:38:43.79
that work or
stress that you have.
00:38:43.82\00:38:45.95
What a great opportunity,
what a great time, so.
00:38:45.99\00:38:49.62
I'm really thankful for parents
who love the Lord and raise me.
00:38:49.66\00:38:54.20
Now, if I'd done
everything right in my life?
00:38:54.30\00:38:56.93
Absolutely not.
00:38:56.97\00:38:58.30
And I mean, I've had
everything written about me
00:38:58.33\00:39:00.37
and said about me
that could be said
00:39:00.40\00:39:02.47
but that's okay,
00:39:02.50\00:39:03.84
I'm in good
company, they said it
00:39:03.87\00:39:05.21
with a lot of other people too,
00:39:05.24\00:39:06.57
probably talk
about you too, Tim,
00:39:06.61\00:39:07.94
behind your back, you know...
00:39:07.98\00:39:09.31
If they care it all.
00:39:09.34\00:39:10.98
Now they care.
00:39:11.01\00:39:12.35
Well, what it is, when
you are on the frontline...
00:39:12.38\00:39:13.75
Right, exactly...
00:39:13.78\00:39:15.12
You know, the enemy
hates people on the frontline
00:39:15.15\00:39:16.92
and so you there, so
I've learned to expect it
00:39:16.95\00:39:19.09
and most everybody that
I am around in ministry,
00:39:19.12\00:39:22.66
you find it and
then, you know, what?
00:39:22.69\00:39:24.49
Those of you that are
Christians, same thing,
00:39:24.53\00:39:26.83
maybe you're by yourself at home
00:39:26.86\00:39:28.50
but you're
still, the devil is out
00:39:28.53\00:39:29.93
to steal, kill and to destroy...
00:39:29.96\00:39:31.30
Right.
00:39:31.33\00:39:32.67
But Jesus says,
"I've come to give you life
00:39:32.70\00:39:34.37
and give it more abundantly."
00:39:34.40\00:39:35.94
So I'm so thankful
for that promise today
00:39:35.97\00:39:38.74
and thankful that He
loves us, He died for us,
00:39:38.77\00:39:41.51
He made a plan
of salvation for us
00:39:41.54\00:39:43.55
and He's coming back very
soon in the clouds of glory.
00:39:43.58\00:39:46.72
It's our prayer,
mine and Tim's here,
00:39:46.75\00:39:48.18
all of us here at 3ABN
that we can meet together,
00:39:48.22\00:39:52.32
that second coming says,
00:39:52.35\00:39:53.76
the dead in
Christ shall rise first
00:39:53.79\00:39:55.46
and we which are alive
00:39:55.49\00:39:56.83
and remain shall
be caught up together,
00:39:56.86\00:39:59.13
this is forever
with the Lord in the sky,
00:39:59.16\00:40:01.56
so you'll be able to
sit around on the piano
00:40:01.60\00:40:03.53
and with Tim
Parton up there playing...
00:40:03.57\00:40:06.70
I'm hoping when
we get to heaven,
00:40:06.74\00:40:08.34
you'll be able
to play the piano,
00:40:08.37\00:40:10.07
so I can sit back and listen
00:40:10.11\00:40:11.61
'cause I'm gonna
be retired by then.
00:40:11.64\00:40:12.97
Well, yeah.
00:40:13.01\00:40:14.58
Especially if you keep
on asking these requests
00:40:14.61\00:40:16.38
of songs I don't know.
00:40:16.41\00:40:17.75
Yeah, I'm just trying
to think of another one...
00:40:17.78\00:40:19.18
Hey, I'll tell you
what, before we go on...
00:40:19.21\00:40:20.78
All right.
00:40:20.82\00:40:22.15
You're talking about, you know,
00:40:22.18\00:40:24.15
situations where
people talk about you
00:40:24.19\00:40:26.39
and there's another
life lesson in a song
00:40:26.42\00:40:29.86
that I learned
and you've probably,
00:40:29.89\00:40:31.43
you may have sung
this one yourself,
00:40:31.46\00:40:34.36
but this was one
I remember singing
00:40:34.40\00:40:36.26
when I was a kid.
00:40:36.30\00:40:37.93
One of the more serious
ones and it goes like this.
00:40:37.97\00:40:43.04
Little flowers never worry
00:40:43.07\00:40:48.34
When the wind begins to blow
00:40:48.38\00:40:54.75
And they never, never cry
00:40:54.78\00:41:01.19
When the rain begins to fall
00:41:01.22\00:41:07.10
Though it's wet
00:41:07.13\00:41:08.86
and, oh, so cold
00:41:08.90\00:41:14.00
Soon the sun will shine again
00:41:14.04\00:41:20.44
And then they'll
smile to the world
00:41:20.48\00:41:26.98
For their beauty to behold
00:41:27.02\00:41:33.72
So, let it rain, let it rain,
00:41:33.76\00:41:38.03
let it pour
00:41:38.06\00:41:41.43
Let trouble keep
knocking at my door
00:41:41.46\00:41:49.10
If we'll learn
the right from wrong
00:41:49.14\00:41:56.18
It will help to make us strong
00:41:56.21\00:42:03.69
So when the
clouds begin to gather
00:42:03.72\00:42:09.19
And that old wind begins to blow
00:42:09.22\00:42:15.30
Little flowers don't complain
00:42:15.33\00:42:21.67
Though they're
tossing to and fro
00:42:21.70\00:42:28.38
So I guess
they've learned the secret
00:42:28.41\00:42:34.68
Even little flowers know
00:42:34.72\00:42:40.42
That if it never, never rains
00:42:40.46\00:42:47.23
Then will never, never grow
00:42:47.30\00:42:52.23
So, let it rain, let it rain,
00:42:52.27\00:42:56.30
let it pour.
00:42:56.34\00:42:58.47
Sing it.
00:42:58.51\00:42:59.84
Let trouble keep
knocking at my door
00:42:59.87\00:43:06.85
If we'll learn
the right from wrong
00:43:06.92\00:43:13.69
It will help to make us strong
00:43:13.76\00:43:20.80
'Cause if it never, never rains
00:43:20.83\00:43:28.67
Then will never,
00:43:28.70\00:43:31.77
Never grow.
00:43:31.81\00:43:36.81
There's a great life lesson.
00:43:40.78\00:43:42.45
What a pretty song
that is. Yeah, it is.
00:43:42.48\00:43:44.85
I think I used to sing
that years ago once in a while,
00:43:44.89\00:43:47.62
but never really knew
again all the words of it,
00:43:47.66\00:43:50.39
but it's such an as
you said life lessons,
00:43:50.43\00:43:53.13
absolutely beautiful.
00:43:53.16\00:43:54.46
Yeah, Job knew that, he
learned that the Lord gives
00:43:54.50\00:43:57.70
and He takes away,
00:43:57.73\00:43:59.13
but whatever you
are going through,
00:43:59.17\00:44:01.00
blessed be the name of the Lord.
00:44:01.04\00:44:02.44
That's right because
his friends all told him,
00:44:02.47\00:44:04.61
"Hey, Joe, go out and die."
00:44:04.64\00:44:05.97
Right? Right.
00:44:06.01\00:44:07.38
Hey, basically hang
yourself, shoot yourself,
00:44:07.41\00:44:08.74
do whatever you can do...
00:44:08.78\00:44:10.11
Right, exactly.
You're exactly right, yeah.
00:44:10.15\00:44:11.48
I guess he didn't have gun.
00:44:11.51\00:44:12.85
Yeah, some friends...
00:44:12.88\00:44:14.22
Spear yourself, do
something, you know...
00:44:14.25\00:44:15.58
You know, he
got the point. Yeah.
00:44:15.62\00:44:16.95
He said, fully on you all,
00:44:16.99\00:44:18.32
blessed be the name of the Lord,
00:44:18.35\00:44:19.69
I'm sticking with the God.
00:44:19.72\00:44:21.06
Absolutely. So
that's should be our goal.
00:44:21.09\00:44:22.42
Absolutely, I cannot
believe as I'm looking down,
00:44:22.46\00:44:24.16
here we got like
just eight or ten minutes
00:44:24.23\00:44:26.26
for this whole program.
00:44:26.29\00:44:28.00
What else you got, any
more surprises up your sleeve?
00:44:28.03\00:44:30.57
Is there some, I loved it...
00:44:30.63\00:44:31.97
I'm surprised at
myself, I'm on air,
00:44:32.00\00:44:33.80
just don't know what's
going to happen next actually.
00:44:33.84\00:44:35.54
So one tune...
00:44:35.57\00:44:36.97
Well, if I can
think of something maybe,
00:44:37.01\00:44:38.67
how about you know the
song, ''Something Beautiful"?
00:44:38.71\00:44:40.78
Maybe play it a little
bit. Yeah, okay. Yeah, okay.
00:44:40.84\00:44:42.94
Something beautiful,
00:45:25.39\00:45:30.43
Something good
00:45:30.46\00:45:35.23
All my confusion
00:45:35.26\00:45:40.50
He understood
00:45:40.54\00:45:45.31
All I had to offer Him
00:45:45.34\00:45:49.04
Was brokenness and strife
00:45:49.08\00:45:53.58
Yet he made something
00:45:53.62\00:45:57.55
Beautiful of my life
00:45:57.59\00:46:05.09
If there ever were dreams
00:46:05.13\00:46:08.06
That were lofty and noble
00:46:08.10\00:46:11.77
They were my dreams at the start
00:46:11.80\00:46:16.04
And the dreams for
life's best were the dreams
00:46:16.07\00:46:21.08
That I harbored
down deep in my heart
00:46:21.11\00:46:28.28
But my dreams turned to ashes
00:46:28.32\00:46:32.12
My castles all crumbled
00:46:32.15\00:46:35.56
My fortune turned to loss
00:46:35.59\00:46:40.70
That I wrapped it all
00:46:40.73\00:46:43.77
In the rags of my life
00:46:43.83\00:46:47.30
And laid it at the cross.
00:46:47.34\00:46:52.44
At the feet of Jesus, right?
00:46:52.47\00:46:54.94
Something beautiful
00:46:54.98\00:47:00.35
Something good
00:47:00.38\00:47:05.29
All my confusion
00:47:05.32\00:47:10.46
He understood
00:47:10.49\00:47:15.23
All I had to offer Him
00:47:15.26\00:47:19.47
Was brokenness and strife
00:47:19.50\00:47:23.71
But he made something
00:47:23.74\00:47:28.04
Beautiful of my life
00:47:28.08\00:47:33.18
And he'll make...
00:47:33.21\00:47:34.55
And he'll make something
00:47:34.58\00:47:39.35
Beautiful of your life.
00:47:39.39\00:47:41.86
Of your life.
00:47:41.89\00:47:47.03
Wow, isn't that amazing,
00:47:47.10\00:47:49.86
how God can take the least,
00:47:49.90\00:47:52.83
and when you
think there is no hope
00:47:52.87\00:47:55.07
that He can do something great.
00:47:55.10\00:47:56.87
I love it because
God is the creator,
00:47:56.91\00:47:58.81
Satan is an imitator
00:47:58.84\00:48:00.41
and he's got all
kinds of imitation
00:48:00.44\00:48:02.28
especially for young folks,
00:48:02.31\00:48:03.68
well, I'm going to
have to add all of us,
00:48:03.71\00:48:05.05
'cause I'm 65 and he's
still working on all me, right?
00:48:05.08\00:48:07.98
And the devil is but so is
God. Right, exactly, more so...
00:48:08.02\00:48:10.55
What's that old
song, remember that song?
00:48:10.62\00:48:12.15
He still working on me
that used to be one but...
00:48:12.22\00:48:13.59
Right, yes, right.
00:48:13.62\00:48:15.16
He's still working but
the devil is an imitator,
00:48:15.19\00:48:17.59
he's a liar but
God is the truth.
00:48:17.66\00:48:22.03
The Bible says, He is the truth,
00:48:22.06\00:48:23.97
the way, the truth and the life.
00:48:24.00\00:48:25.80
Without him, there's nothing.
00:48:25.83\00:48:27.47
Anything else is false,
00:48:27.54\00:48:28.97
so unless you're
looking to Jesus,
00:48:29.00\00:48:31.37
to the cross of Calvary,
00:48:31.41\00:48:32.74
that's the only hope
for this world today.
00:48:32.77\00:48:35.01
There is no other way out
00:48:35.04\00:48:37.35
and we serve a
God that's so big,
00:48:37.38\00:48:39.88
He's absolutely marvelous.
00:48:39.91\00:48:41.45
Sometimes I wonder,
I'm marvel, how big is God?
00:48:41.48\00:48:45.69
Tim?
00:48:45.72\00:48:47.06
Is that my cue? That's your cue.
00:48:47.09\00:48:48.42
Sound like a cue
to me, I like it.
00:48:48.46\00:48:49.79
You know that?
00:48:49.82\00:48:51.16
Raise it up a half step.
We'll just do the last part.
00:49:56.83\00:50:00.96
How big is God
00:50:00.96\00:50:04.67
How big and wide
00:50:04.70\00:50:07.84
His vast domain?
00:50:07.87\00:50:11.57
To try, to tell
00:50:11.61\00:50:15.34
These lips can only start
00:50:15.38\00:50:21.55
Well, He's big
00:50:21.58\00:50:23.02
He's big enough
00:50:23.05\00:50:25.39
To rule this mighty universe
00:50:25.42\00:50:32.33
Yet small enough
00:50:32.36\00:50:36.63
To live within
00:50:36.70\00:50:39.63
My heart
00:50:39.67\00:50:45.07
Now who wrote
that, you say it's...
00:50:45.11\00:50:46.81
Stuart Hamblen.
Hamblen wrote that also.
00:50:46.84\00:50:48.81
Wow, what a
great songwriter. Yeah.
00:50:48.84\00:50:50.88
I don't know all the verse
00:50:50.91\00:50:52.25
but I know quite
a bit of the verses.
00:50:52.28\00:50:53.85
Apparently, I don't
either. That's no, no, no...
00:50:53.88\00:50:56.72
No, he has such a
great, he was a great lyricist.
00:50:56.75\00:51:01.92
Oh, absolutely.
00:51:01.96\00:51:03.29
And you know, he was a cowboy...
00:51:03.32\00:51:05.63
Oh, really?
00:51:05.66\00:51:07.00
The singing one of the first
singing cowboys on the radio...
00:51:07.03\00:51:08.73
Oh, is that right?
I didn't know that.
00:51:08.76\00:51:11.23
Yeah, he had such,
you need to search on him,
00:51:11.27\00:51:12.60
I would like to do a program
one day of just his songs...
00:51:12.63\00:51:15.37
Absolutely, absolutely.
00:51:15.40\00:51:16.77
Because he had
some really great songs,
00:51:16.81\00:51:19.47
a lot of people
who are, you know,
00:51:19.51\00:51:21.04
aren't believers they
hear these some songs from,
00:51:21.08\00:51:23.81
you know, olden
days and so, good stuff.
00:51:23.85\00:51:26.68
As a singing cowboy
way before your time
00:51:26.72\00:51:28.55
but my time was Roy Rogers.
00:51:28.58\00:51:30.55
Okay.
00:51:30.59\00:51:31.92
And he and Dale
Evans used to write some...
00:51:31.95\00:51:33.42
I thought he was a
fictional character.
00:51:33.46\00:51:35.36
I didn't know he was real,
00:51:35.39\00:51:36.89
now you're the first
person I met that ever knew him.
00:51:36.93\00:51:38.69
No, absolutely, Roy
Rogers, he was a singing cowboy
00:51:38.73\00:51:42.60
but he and Dale Evans, they did,
00:51:42.63\00:51:44.00
they were Christians
and they did a lot of...
00:51:44.03\00:51:46.57
Have faith, hope and charity
00:51:46.60\00:51:49.97
That's the way
to live successfully
00:51:50.04\00:51:52.07
That's what I've heard.
00:51:52.11\00:51:53.44
How do I know,
the Bible tells me so
00:51:53.51\00:51:58.51
Don't worry 'bout tomorrow
00:51:58.55\00:52:01.65
Just be real good today
00:52:01.68\00:52:04.62
The Lord will
bless and guide you...
00:52:04.65\00:52:07.06
Something like that.
00:52:07.09\00:52:08.42
Lead you on your way Oh,
the Bible says have faith
00:52:08.46\00:52:11.93
Hope and charity
00:52:11.96\00:52:14.20
That's the way
to live successfully
00:52:14.20\00:52:17.33
How do I know,
the Bible tells me so
00:52:17.37\00:52:21.44
How about this guy, he doesn't
even have to hear a song,
00:52:21.47\00:52:24.17
has no idea what it is
00:52:24.21\00:52:25.54
and he jumps right
in and can play it.
00:52:25.57\00:52:27.44
What a gift, what a gift.
00:52:27.48\00:52:28.81
I can't believe
our time is all gone.
00:52:28.84\00:52:30.31
We're going to have
to take a short break,
00:52:30.35\00:52:32.38
then we're going to come
back with a closing thought.
00:52:32.41\00:52:34.38
