I found her page by accident. I was looking for the hymn, it's well with my soul. I found her cover of it. She had a beautiful voice. She sang all the verses. I wanted to hear her other songs. I did not realize that she predominantly sang commentary praise songs and c.c.m. my church was king James' only independent fundamental baptist. We were not against newer songs but did sing from a hymn book with piano accompaniment. I liked her voice. I ended up listening to several of her songs.
After a while, I decided to stop. At my church several young ladies minister in songs. At my college, we had ladies' groups who sang at supporting churches. We did not believe women should preach or speak in church but the signing was permitted. It was a fine line. We were careful about who sang in services.
I had not planned to listen to her music again. I liked it but I just did not think I had any reason to. I turned off the lab top and went into my room.
- I saw that he had liked several of my songs. I liked to see who was following me. I checked his profile. his screen name was pastorg2257. He said he pastored gospel baptist church. He was a widower. He linked sermons, church services, events, commentary, and family events. He clearly loved his kids. One was a video of a water gun war.
I watched one of his messages. It was pretty good. I could see that he was king James only I.f.b. he believed in separation but it was good. My dad knew about the church. He did not know pastor grant but knew of him and knew the church.
I decided to reach out to him. "Hello, I am Nicole. I am glad you like my videos. i am sorry for our loss. I am so glad you keep going. " I wrote.
A week went by. I did not hear anything. I figured I would not. I was hoping that he would contact me again. There was silence. I kind of moved on.
