AS I CLOSE THE DOOR

Dear Lord, as I close the door on the old year, I ponder the things I've done... the things I've said and the joys I've had I wonder, have I lost or won?

I've thought of new friends I have made, and the old ones, staunch and true... the paths of the old year made easier, Lord, because I have walked them with You

I think of all the many times, when my burdens were so heavy to bear, and how my faith slipped away from me but somehow You were always there

Now, as I open the door to this New Year, and carefully peep inside, I wonder what it holds for me... but I'll throw the door open wide.

Whatever it brings to me and mine, I'll meet it with a heart so true... I know that, Lord, whatever it may be, You'll be there to carry me through!

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter! I hope you and your family the many blessings of the Easter holiday!

With Easter, the spring season is here. Spring is one of my favorite times of the year. Spring is a wonderful time for new beginnings and a fresh start.  I'm looking forward to warmer days, longer nights and fresh flowers.

This year, I've decided to forgo my normal spring concert. Many of you have been asking me periodically for new music and I appreciate your interest. Presently, I'm working on new original music and revamping my live shows that warrant my full attention. I will keep you posted. :)

Next month (April 16th), I have a performance coming up with Preachermann and the Revival at The Shrine. I hope to see you at the show for a soulful experience of atomic soul! You have to see it believe it.

For those of you who are new to my mailing list: welcome and thank you for your support! I have performances with my own projects, The Benita Charles Trio and The Benita Charles and Friends Band. Also, I perform with the atomic band, Preachermann and The Revival. This is not a gospel show but it is heartfelt, soulful music that touches the heart. I hope you will have an opportunity to see one of my shows. Thanks for signing my mailing list.
