What will YOU remember about the summer of 2008? Let me know at lara@thefish959.com. Donna's 16-year-old son got his first job this summer.

Donna advised him to remember his manners, to smile, and to be nice to everyone. Her son is a host at a restaurant, and on that 1st day he got a tip from a little girl! He held the door for her, and her dad gave her a dollar to give to him. :-)

Wedding Song
One of my friends will be walking down the aisle at her wedding this weekend to "Love Song" by Third Day. She wanted to incorporate some Christian music into her ceremony, and she knew this song was perfect after she heard me play it one day on my show. :-) Check out these lyrics:
I've heard it said that a man would climb a mountain
Just to be with the one he loves
How many times has he broken that promiseIt has never been done.
I've never climbed the highest mountain
But I walked the hill of calvary
Chorus:
Just to be with you
I'd do anything
There's no price I would not pay
Just to be with you
I'd give anything
I would give my life away.
I don't think there's going to be a dry eye at the wedding! What are YOUR plans for the weekend? Let us know at lara@thefish959.com.

Who is the female singer that sings "Hold on to Jesus"? I want to get the words to that song.
They are perfect for my granddaughter who is leaving for college for the

Irene
Hi Irene!
Thank you so much for your sweet email! The song you asked about is by Erin O'Donnell, and it's called Hold On To Jesus. Isn't it beautiful? Here are the lyrics...
You're a little piece of heaven
You're a golden ray of light
Ad I wish I could protect you
From the worries of this life
But if there's one thing I could tell you It's no matter what you do Hold to Jesus He's holding on to you
The world will try to tell you
That might is more than right
That beauty's on the outside
And being good's a losing fight
But remember what I've told you
Because the world will make you choose
Hold to Jesus
He's holding on to you
Hold on to Jesus
Cling to His love
Rest deep in His mercy
Whenever things get rough
Don't lose sight of His goodness
And don't ever doubt this truth
That when you hold on to Jesus
He's holding on to you
Hear me dear Jesus
Rock this little one to sleep
Keep her close when she's scared
And give her grace when she is weak
I know she'll stumble
But I know she'll make it through
If you hold to her just like
You said You'd do
Hold her Jesus
And she'll hold on tight to You
They are perfect for my granddaughter who is leaving for college for the
first time.
