This book is specially dedicated to my good friend and fellow
servant Gerry Coulter. I first met Gerry in 1971. We both went to
the same church. At this church, I can remember hearing two sisters
sing special music during services. I can remember sitting there
while they were singing and in my spirit praying something like:
"Oh God, If I could sing like that, I'd praise you forever " Now 41
years later... I am still praising God, our Heavenly Father, Jesus
Christ our dear Savior and Lord, and The Holy Ghost for filling me
and coming upon me so much and so many times I can not begin to
count. We were invited, and accepted to be a member for the next
four years. This was a 300 plus voice choir who were titled Singing
Ambassadors of Good Will for the Great State of Ohio as we traveled
all over and sang throughout the year as well as the two weeks or
so at the State Fair. As I said before: I can remember sitting
there in Church, while Julie and Lorie were singing and in my
spirit praying something like: "Oh God, If I could sing like that,
I'd praise you forever " It was not 2 weeks later; as best as I can
remember, getting that phone call from my good friend Gerry Coulter
asking me if I wanted to sing in a Gospel Quartet. I was shocked. I
was surprised. I was so happy. God had answered my prayer so
quickly. We as a quartet searched The Holy Scriptures for a verse
to call our own. We came up with, I will sing unto the LORD,
because he hath dealt bountifully with me. To this day... I still
feel the power in those Holy Words. I have always been blessed. In
times when our money was running low... I still was blessed. In
times when the devil would attack... I was blessed. In times when
sickness would come into our family... I was blessed. Now
thirty-seven years later... I am still blessed, more today than
ever before To God Be The Glory We as a quartet sang together for
about ninety days trying to get together and to blend our voices
and learn the music. Finally after about ninety we just came
together and the harmony was there as if it was automatic. We sang
in churches, traveled and sang at meetings on the ground. I was so
blessed Now 41 years later, we have published about 120 books. I
was going through our file cabinet, cleaning out old files, making
room for new places for new authors and new books. I came across a
file marked Gerry Coulter. I opened it and found that we had made a
bookcase for brother Gerry back on 1986. Not knowing what would
happen ... I dialed the old phone number and brother Gerry answered
the phone Boy was I surprised. I think Gerry was surprised also. We
talked for quite a long time, reminiscing over old memories.
Sharing blessings that we have received. Talking of our friends now
in Heaven We made a point to agree that the next time I was in the
area... I would stop by and see my good friend Gerry. After hanging
up the phone... I remembered Brother Gerry say after all these
years, he did not have even a copy of the old music we had sang. I
thought I did have some old tapes. I went to the file cabinet and
there it was. I had a copy of a concert we did in 1975. I told my
wife, I needed to make a copy and take it to Bother Gerry. Two days
later, I traveled the two-hour trip to see Brother Gerry... Who was
now bed ridden because of Diabetes. He had commented that he was
scheduled to have surgery some time ago and there were two pastor
friends who were at his bedside to pray for him before the surgery.
Gerry then commented that, after having two pastors pray for him,
he still lost his sole I thought for a moment... Then with a smile
upon his face he explained; with pictures, that the doctors had to
remove the sole of his right foot because of the diabetes. That is
the Gerry I remembered. No matter how bad a situation could be, He
was still cheerful, He still could see the bright side and He still
gave all the Praise and Glory to God our Heavenly Father
