RE: [TruthTalk] Getting to know you.

Marlin, I pray that the Lord will supply you with whatever your family needs to record your music if that is your desire.  My husband says there are recording companies that are less expensive than purchasing your own equipment, but I’m sure you know more about that than we do.  Your children are blessed to have such loving parents. You will be richly rewarded by the Lord for your faithfulness to Him and your family.  Your life sounds like a real living sacrifice to Him. A fragrant offering. No wonder he put you in the flower business.
