3000 Miles to Graceland....


This career began in earnest at a now Louisiana based website, formerly in Chicago later San Antonio in, as fate would have it, 2001, which, incidentally, or co incidentally, whichever you will use, wsa the same year as the movie 3000 miles to Graceland was released... 
There are those who see that career as a Drama/Disaster movie, I myself have to look back on that career and see it in such a manner...
My career itself was illustrious, make no mistake, but , as with any other well known, in any field, there are scandals, and they often are , in one way or another quite costly, shall I say, disastrous. i do now wish to go into the details of these , for these details are between myself and my Master Christ Jesus. Only to say, there is ahigh price to be paid for fame, I paid that price. And I brought many a good man and woman way down with me. (Read the Presley 77 song into that if you will.) And I am not proud of this. IT IS ONLY THE GRACE OF GOD that saw me thoguh al of this.. There is no othe rway to explain.. I have an Eternal Master True and Mighty who is Just... yet Merciful.. Some .. nay MOST will say He is Merciful and unjust.. some say hHe is Ever Just and Merciless.. He is Both.. and no more can be said... 

200 Miles to Tupelo

There were 200 more miles to go.. in my scenario...
the 200 miles to Tupelo.. where "Daddy Presley" if you will.. first learned to play Gospel mysic on his flat top that Vernon and Gladys gave him..
songs like "Take My Hand Precious Lord" and "Peace in the Valley"

Though across the world they know my name...
Though great and world wide is my fame...
If faith I eschew, ir profiteth me not,
If I betray what God hath wrought..

The rising sun at the end of night...
The things which bring the true delight...
The end of the journey when I see God's Son..
And He says to me. "My Child , Well Done."
