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.

Rev. Paul G. Zimmer, II on 5/11/12 - 11:43 PM
Today, I sought a word from God to share with my SL family and friends, and came across this fabulous version of a timely word from Romans 8:34-39...I pray this blesses you and renews and restores you hope in Him, too!

Romans 8:34-39 - The Message (MSG)

With God on our side like this, how can we lose? If God didn't hesitate to put everything on the line for us, embracing our condition and exposing himself to the worst by sending his own Son, is there anything else he wouldn't gladly and freely do for us? And who would dare tangle with God by messing with one of God's chosen? Who would dare even to point a finger? The One who died for us?who was raised to life for us!?is in the presence of God at this very moment sticking up for us. Do you think anyone is going to be able to drive a wedge between us and Christ's love for us? There is no way! Not trouble, not hard times, not hatred, not hunger, not homelessness, not bullying threats, not backstabbing, not even the worst sins listed in Scripture:

They kill us in cold blood because they hate you.
We're sitting ducks; they pick us off one by one.
None of this fazes us because Jesus loves us. I'm absolutely convinced that nothing?nothing living or dead, angelic or demonic, today or tomorrow, high or low, thinkable or unthinkable?absolutely nothing can get between us and God's love because of the way that Jesus our Master has embraced us.

I'll let my prayer group know we have answered prayer!

Rev. Paul G. Zimmer, II on 4/26/12 - 6:53 PM
Today, I prayed and thought of you, and the Lord led me to see that you could use a word of encouragement and rest.

"Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you'll recover your life. I'll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me?watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you'll learn to live freely and lightly."

Matthew 11:28-30 - The Message (MSG)
Leon Gosiewski on 4/13/12 - 4:26 AM

Rev. Paul G. Zimmer, II on 4/08/12 - 12:31 AM
A MESSAGE for the ages...


Matthew 28:6-8 - The Message (MSG)

The angel spoke to the women: "There is nothing to fear here. I know you're looking for Jesus, the One they nailed to the cross. He is not here. He was raised, just as he said. Come and look at the place where he was placed.

"Now, get on your way quickly and tell his disciples, 'HE IS RISEN from the dead. He is going on ahead of you to Galilee. You will see him there.' That's the message."

The women, deep in wonder and full of joy, lost no time in leaving the tomb. They ran to tell the disciples. Then Jesus met them, stopping them in their tracks. "Good morning!" he said. They fell to their knees, embraced his feet, and worshiped him. Jesus said, "You're holding on to me for dear life! Don't be frightened like that. Go tell my brothers that they are to go to Galilee, and that I'll meet them there."


Once you receive this message, pass it on to the multitudes!!!
Rev. Paul G. Zimmer, II on 3/30/12 - 11:32 PM
Wishing you a blessed Palm Sunday...and the joy each Easter brings to the hearts of those who are saved by His grace and shed blood!

Popping in to say hi, Jazzy Jackie!! How are you? Praying for you a delightful walk with our Lord God each day!

BREATHE IN BREATHE OUT!!!
Hey we (who are in Christ) are alive. Let us not act as if we are dead. We are alive for now and all eternity. We may leave our bodies behind for a time. But the glory that our God has bestowed upon us is eternal! Breathe in the fullness of life in Him. And breathe out the miraculous substance of His nature into the lives of others.

IF YOU HAVE BREATH USE IT TO PRAISE THE LORD. HE LIVES IN THE PRAISES OF HIS PEOPLE. Rejoice and enjoy the trip we are headed for the place beyond all the wonders man can imagine! Praise be unto our Beautiful Glorious God. Hugs

Hey there my friend, Just a note to say hello. I pray all is well with you and yours. God Bless..."Murphy"
"For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever." (1 Thess 4: 16-17)
