Love Is Above It All (2005)
Review of new album CD, "Love Is Above It All"

This album is a wonderful gift to the world of music, and certainly will be a continual testament to glorify and honor our Holy Father above. The chosen songs are very inspiring, and touching. The message is clear and concise in each and every selection. Jackie sings each and every song from the heart, and you can feel and hear the loving touch of The Holy Spirit laced throughout this entire album, lending approval and a divine flavor.

Jackie has a totally unique sense of what she thinks is worthy of communicating in a song. Her lyrics are chosen carefully, and the pattern of chords and melody are also from a universe far, far, away. She is a hybrid blend of many wonderful influences, and musical heroes. It would be very difficult to categorize this artist, because she is simply unique. She is one of God's splendid ambassadors of music.

This music is hard to be viewed as "just another album". It is easy to see, that this artist is well read, and well traveled. You just don't arrive at this point of creativity, without having a prior track record in life. She is quite entertaining, to say the least, and easy to feel at ease around her. Her diction and lyrics are clear and precise, and the musical delivery is no less focused on her vision.

You cannot listen to an artist of this league, and compare her to several others. You must allow yourself to open up, free up some boundaries or barriers that we have become accustomed to. She is very confident, and is fired-up for the Lord's ministry and message. But, her inner beauty shines through in these songs loud and clear. Her intonation is dead-on , and she has no shortage of power for the crystal clear high range of notes, that she flawlessly executes time after time.

In the midst of so much cannon fodder, musically, that is forced upon us by mainstream radio, I find an artist of this caliber very refreshing.

Jackie has her own voice. She simply does not sound like anyone else. Personally, I find great value in that alone. Her voice has a tremendous projection, and could be compared to Connie Smith, or Linda Rhonstadt in the amount of thrust her voice exudes.

The album, "Love Is Above It All", shows wonderful colors of this artist's palette.

Folks, if you are tired of the same old vanilla,......rest assured, there are definitely a number of new flavors in this album, that you're sure to like. No matter what type of music appeals to you, this is an extremely attractive work of music that is sure to draw many people to the riches and blessings that we are offered and allowed by Our Creator And Master, The Lord Our God.

Psalms 103:1-5
BLESS (AFFECTIONATELY, gratefully praise) the Lord, O my soul; and all that is [deepest] within me, bless His holy name!
Bless (affectionately, gratefully praise) the Lord, O my soul, and forget not [one of] all His benefits--
Who forgives [every one of] all your iniquities, Who heals [each one of] all your diseases,
Who redeems your life from the pit and corruption, Who beautifies, dignifies, and crowns you with loving-kindness and tender mercy;
Who satisfies your mouth [your necessity and desire at your personal age and situation] with good so that your youth, renewed, is like the eagle's [strong, overcoming, soaring]! [Isa. 40:31.]

Whisper their name in prayer


Prayer are the stairs
We must climb every day.
If we would reach God.
There is no other way.
FOr we learn to know God
When we meet him in prayer
And ask Him to lighten
Our burden of care
So start in the morning
And through the way's sleep.
Climb ever upward
Til your eyes close in sleep
For prayers are the stairs
That lead to the lord.
And to meet him in prayer
Is the climber's reward.
poem by Helen steiner Rice


Teach us How to truly love

Teach us how to truly live,
Ask us not our race or creed,
Just take us in our hour of need,
And let us know You love us, too
And That we are A Part Of You....
And someday may man realize
That all the earth, The seas and skies
Belong to God who made us all,
The rich, the poor, the great, the small,
And in the father's holy sight
No man is yellow, black or white,
And Peace On Earth cannot be found
Until we Meet on Common Ground
And every man becomes a Brother
Who worships God and loves each other.
