For Dottie, many times the road has been long and weary. Though Dottie has many miles behind her, it does seem that at this time in her life, God is using Dottie in a fresh, new and mighty way.

We need to be thankful for everything that the Lord has given. I thank him for my family, my friends, my artists, and all the many people that are in my life. I thank him for every blessing he has bestowed upon me and my family. But nothing compares to what he took from me

The Governor of the great state of Texas made Anthony Burger an Honorary Texan!

To me nothing is more exciting than being able to hear a group at one of it's first concerts. Integrity on their second night as a group. It was obvious from the moment we arrived this was going to be a special night. There were people there from Georgia, Tennessee, South Carolina, Ohio, Mississippi and many other states.

Leaving something that is comfortable and that you have known for years is never an easy task. However, this is something that Kim Ruppe-Lord had to face a couple years ago.
