Welcome You are visitor

Dear friends,

I am happy to announce that my web pages are back.  As you 
know, I removed all of my pages from Tripod due to their 
new and exorbitant charges for space and bandwidth.  Then, 
I signed up with a new server called "HomewithGod" and 
started re-creating my pages there only to find out that 
they do not allow downloads at all which, of course, is a 
major part of my music pages.  I believe that most visitors 
would want to download some of the music.   So, now, I have 
gone back to Tripod but, in order to be able to afford them, 
I have deleted about half of the songs on my music pages, 
keeping what I consider to be the best of the songs.  

For the last week, I have attempted to contact Tripod but 
they do not respond to my messages.  I have questions that 
need answers before I purchase additional bandwidth.  So, 
if my bandwidth allotment runs out, don't be surprised if 
you find a message to the effect that "This web site is not 
accessible because the owner has used all of the allotted 
bandwidth.  It will be accessible again in two hours.  If 
you are the owner, you need to purchase more bandwidth ... 
etc. etc."

What a shame that it has come to this.  Servers such as 
Tripod are suddenly "making a killing" on space and bandwidth 
charges that plenty of poor folks like me cannot afford.  As 
of now, my total monthly charges are $50.00 but I will surely 
need to purchase more bandwidth which could easily amount to 
an additional $25.00 or more per month.

Please pray that the Lord will give me the wisdom to know what 
to do about this devastating situation.  I considered just 
abandoning my entire web site for good but then I remembered 
that these are not my pages ... they are God's pages and I must 
trust Him to show me the way ... His way.

Here are the new URLs:

A note about The Old Country Church (Southern Gospel music in 
Real Audio):  I regret that I had to delete some of the very 
large music files and, in some cases, the artist's whole section.  
In those cases, I added a link to their web sites in the 
"Southern Gospel Links" section near the bottom of the page.

Thanks for understanding and may God bless you and your families.

P.S.  Here is Tripod's definition of bandwidth:

"Bandwidth (also known as "data transfer") is the amount of data 
that is used to transfer a member's web page (including the HTML, 
graphics, text, sound files, etc.) from the host server to the 
person viewing the page. If the total contents of the page equals 
1 MB, and the page is visited 100 times, the total bandwidth is 
100 MB."
