Hard finished to one so beautiful

Singing from the 1992 Movie, made me fall in love with that voice.

Whitney I have the faith of a child

I love to share with you stories of people finishing well. A life well lived is a gift from God. A life well lived is a mother fighting breast canser and doing all the right things but the disease wins. She fought the fight. Bravery is not seen on the battlefield only but in hospitals around the world there is untold bravery as people face the fights of their lives.

This beautiful person in voice and talent and I think she had lots to give was robbed of life through leaches who lived off of her insecurities and weaknesses like parasites and slowly to take away her voice and then her life. Drugs and alcohol can destroy our creative humanity. In the end no hero like Kevin Costner came to the rescue. Joe DiMaggio could not rescue Merilyn Monroe. In the end she died alone and helpless to the drugs and booze that destroyed her life.

In 1992 she gave me this wounderful movie performance. When she belted out "I will always love you" is what any man wants his love to sing to Him. Most of us do not have that voice. So thank Whitney for have that voice for us.

Whitney sang as a child gospel songs in church. I know many enjoyed the voice. I hope the songs got into her heart  and despite her hopelessness I hope once she strusted the Savior to save her. He doesn't forget, He knows His sheep. A child in church can do many things unseen by all but God, they can have faith in the Lord. We can have hope. Keep walking

Martin Dehahn of Radio Bible Class posted "That some of Whitney’s songs seemed to draw on a spirituality beyond the music might have something to do with her early years. According to an online encyclopedia: “At the age of 11, Houston began to follow in her mother’s footsteps and started performing as a soloist in the junior gospel choir at the New Hope Baptist Church in Newark, where she also learned to play the piano. Her first solo performance in the church was “Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah.”

The kosmos can be a dark place. We are fragile at best. Walking includes walking in His footsteps, “Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah.”
