But God rises on you, his sunrise glory breaks over you. Nations will come to your light, kings to your sunburst brightness.
Isaiah 60:1-3 MSG
Michael Jackson was a child of God and
All over the world,
In every nation
God used Michael to touch many lives; as I watch the news, the special tributes, the videos, all I see is HOPE...on the faces of those that loved him, those that will miss him.
God used Michael to deliver many songs and MESSAGES OF HOPE" all across the globe, what a radiant light he was!
A shinning star with a sparkle in his eyes, a song in his heart and a smile that warmed your heart like a hot cup of tea on a cold winter's day.

I'll Be There is a song that I will always remember, as I listen to the words, I am reminded of God's love and protection, how God has always been there to comfort me, another song of HOPE!
From Ben, to Got to be there...all the way up to beat it and beyond, I will remember the time
that I had to look at the man in the mirror and see that I needed to make some positive changes in my life...
Keep Looking Up Because Jesus Is Going To Show Up
And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in, Isaiah 58:12
The memories, the laughter, the special times spent with my family and friends, singing and dancing to Michael's many hits...a man with a song in his heart, that help change lives and gave many a brand new start, through health care and charitable giving, All over this world, a message and a song of hope....
