Hello Krew,
I had a great time in Hampton, Virginia this past weekend. We had two wonderful services at the Cornerstone Fellowship Church. Sunday morning's service was simply incredible. The altar was filled with people at the end of the service. Rev. Larry Lykens preached a great sermon "Suffering in Silence" and it was very effective as the altar filled up with people.
Sunday night, again the Holy Spirit came down and it was an annointed time. It was great to be with Larry and Margaret again. Pastor Jason Cook was especially happy to have Larry and Margaret there. Jason is Larry's son so there naturally were some fun times. I really hope I will be able to go back there. I met so many new friends.
It was a special blessing on Sunday Morning as we sang "He Is Here" I watched a special little girl on the front row, lift her voice and sing. She was giving it all she had. I looked at some of the other people in the audience and they were just barely singing. I kept watching this little girl, assuming she was down syndrome, her smile was inviting, her face was aglow and her voice was lifting up praise. I couldn't wait for the service to be over so I could hug her. What a Blessing!

I headed home on Monday. I decided to take a different route.
Since radar detectors are illegal in Virginia, I decided to drop down and come back home through North Carolina.
Driving along thru Winston Salem, NC early on Monday morning, I was listening to the local FM Gospel Station.
I heard a great song by a group called New Ground. The song was "Cast the First Stone".
It was a great song and thought it was interesting that I heard it at that particular time. A little later,
I tuned in the sister station from Hickory NC and heard the Martins sing "Grace".
I am thankful for the Grace of God, I was reminded that it was truly God's Grace that lifted me! It really made my trip home more enjoyable.

There will be some changes to the website. I have decided to take down my testimony.
It's been there for three years and I have decided three years is enough.
It's time to move on. So I am replacing the long testimony with a much more brief testimony and then I will also have a place for other testimonies from people who have been blessed and ministered to by my songs or my ministry.

If you would like to contribute to the testimony page, please write up a SHORT note of how one of my songs has blessed you, or how a service that you were in changed your life, inspired you or challenged you.
You can email those directly to me at kirktalley@aol.com. Again, please be brief.

Don't forget the weekend in April. April 21 and April 22nd. We already have enough signed up for the discount at
