I've been watching the news , listening to everyone talk about the
state of our country and this great nation.  Music  always keeps me
going and gets me to the next best thing. 

We are Americans, we are
strong, smart and we know how to create beautiful things when we act
with the intelligence we were born with.  If I can create songs to help
you, than certainly there are many people out there who can help remind
us that we can help one another make it through this and get back to
the business of making forward progress for the sake of our selves, our
family, our nation, and the world.     

How will we get back on
course?  I would say do your best with the best of intentions, and then
do it better than that.  Pray.  If you haven't prayed before start,
maybe you're all we need to get this turned around.

God Bless

Vern Gosdin
