Prayers up for Randy Travis. I've been in his shoes with regard to boozing getting me into big trouble.

And the Lord showed me the way out of it. It wasn't easy ... but it was awfully simple.

I was close enough to Travis once to watch him interacting backstage with a whole lotta fans, and I was touched and impressed by how he attended to each one of them who had stood in line to have their photo taken with him after a long performance. Many of them elderly. Instead of taking an assembly-line attitude, as I'd seen other stars do, Randy took the the time to talk and listen to each one of them, putting his head close to theirs so he could hear what they were saying to him. It was pure, sweet kindness on his part.

I pray the Lord gives him strength to face down the demon alcohol. His songs "Pray for the Fish" and "Keep Your Lure in the Water" are especially inspiring songs.
