!Russell Watson News!

“The Voice” as he is called…I do love his voice. If you have not heard his voice, cds, videos or seen his DVD performances, you are missing a beautiful voice. Today, when I visited his website, what a shock to read this:

29.09.06STATEMENT ISSUED ON BEHALF OF RUSSELL WATSONRussell Watson has been rushed back from Los Angeles to London this week for emergency surgery to remove a tumour from his brain. The singer, known as ’The Voice’, was recording his new album in the famous Capitol Studios when he developed excruciating headaches and impaired vision. . .more

Russell had some “throat problems a few years back and he had just come back and were so so blessed to see his new albums and appearances:

Here he is with President & Mrs. Bush:

This is a live performance in the UK of “You Raise Me Up” and has special meaning in light of his current situation. Remember him in prayer.

Sword&Shield.com to blogging…

Friends, my DH’s site, swordandshield.com has closed its doors effective today. It is a bit sad since it has been online since 1999 and a great resource of Reformed literature, articles and material. DH’s schedule has just not allowed him in the last 3 years to be interactive and with the huge expense of our “state-of-the-art” servers, etc., we decided to close it for now until his schedule can allow him more time to keep the site current. We will maintain the name swordandshield.com for the future site. We are also setting up the swordandshield2.blogspot.com address to keep his friends and viewers up-to-date and for access to his articles, etc. Since I am the “keeper of the files” and webmaster and web designer, I get the “privilege” of setting it up, which I enjoy. So then, if you have the old .com link, it will not work for now. More coming on this in later posts.
