I'll never forget when you and Cathy were in our Ward here in Glendale, California many years ago. It was such a blessing to have you here for a few years. You allowed me the priviledge of accompanying you on the piano when you sang in our Sacrament Meeting a couple of times. How wonderful that was for me. Presently Dennis and I are The LDS Institute Directors at Glendale College (2-year service mission). We have music playing throughout the institute from the time we get there until we leave. Of course, we play many of your cd's on a daily basis and the students love your music. Thank you Kenneth for the beautiful music you create. It definitely blesses the lives of so many.

Thank you so much for sharing it with me. God is so kind to His children. And...I rejoice that He lets me be a small, simple tool in His important work, and that He chooses to sometimes use the music when He wants to reach out to bless one of His children with His love. That's wonderful how you feel your angel husband with you often. What a blessing for you! Keep adding your loveliness and powerful influence to the world around you, Stacey. I'm sure God LOVES to work through you, too! :) Wow, Stacey! I cherish this! Thank you so much for sharing it with me. God is so kind to His children.

My best friend at the time, the man who would come to be my eternal companion, loved this CD and would listen to it often. Six years after he became my eternal companion, cancer took him from me. It's been almost nine years now. I have since introduced another wonderful man to the gospel, remarried and had two more beautiful children. However, my angel husband is often with me. Today on Pandora, your song "Never a Better Hero" played and I was transported through all those years to when we were teenagers, learning the gospel together in seminary. And because there was that great hero, he and I will be reunited someday. Thank you for creating the music that creates memories and hope for me. Dear Kenneth,

God be praised for a Savior who not only rescues from sin and death, but who perfects His adoring followers! :) Gratefully, Sean, what good we do present to our Father at the last day will have Jesus’ fingerprints all over it.

Every person can be a hero.” (Unknown) ...and each person can present his/her own "masterpiece" in their own way, to God at the last day. Like our kids don't all present perfect projects to parents/ teachers, the joy is in knowing they gave it their honest best and are the better for it. “Here all can be artists.

God has declared that He wants us to become perfect, yet He is so much more patient with us than we are. He sees us in eternity and what we are becoming...not what we are today. He waits till the end to judge us. He believes there is still time. If I can remember that, I might be a little nicer to myself when I fall down. Hang on and look upward. Remember He is a Father, and everything that means. :) Dear Shauna…you so courageously say what most all of us feel…I would guess that most all of us are too hard on ourselves.
