about

"As I am neither musically trained nor have I the talent, but as l listened to St. Mary's for Steven, it seemed to me as soothing, mellifluous and leading one to peace and tranquility. Your talent and effort are greatly appreciated. All the best and God's blessings on your future projects." ~Fr.Jose of St. Mary, Mother of God Catholic Church

"Your song is wonderful. Really contemplative and beautiful. I feel so honored and felt like I was actually sitting in the sanctuary with you." ~Steven Usry, former pastor of Harvest Point United Methodist Church

St. Mary's for Steven was written in the sanctuary at St. Mary, Mother of God Catholic Church in Jackson, GA. I had attended a Friday mass. Captured by the beauty of this small country Catholic church and as I sat there in silence, waiting for mass to begin, I heard this beautiful song in my head. After mass, Fr. Jose let me play the church piano, and this is where the beginning of the song was born.

Then, Sunday came around, and I played it at my church, Harvest Point UMC during a prayerful time as Pastor Steven Usry was finishing up his sermon and I continued to capture it with the love of my church family, Pastor Steven and the Holy Spirit. Pastor Steven is dear to my heart, he has helped change my life in so many ways and so I dedicate this song to him.
