For many years, my brother, he was ill and undiagnosed. He'd be fine. Then not fine. In times of stress, he hears voices or thoughts. They're usually really awful. In recent years, he discovered that if he only listens to UCB Christian radio and not other types of music that he used to when he was younger, that when he wakes up, he doesn't hear the voices he hears the lyrics from the songs on UCB Radio. And hears all the time words about God and praise and mercy. And UCB seems to just wipe out what the other voices are trying to say.

It is hope that gets me through every day-knowing that God is in control of all things and in his way, his time, he will take this crazy, mixed up world of his, he will put everything and everyone of his children back on their feet. All will be well again. Without Hope, what do we have that is worth keeping.

You know when you're alone, you're driving alone and you're far from home -- It's inspiring because of the music and the words. I know there's other sisters and brothers. We're tripping along and I don't feel alone. My spirit is fed. And I I feel such joy and peace and comfort. And the word through the music, it's life and it breathes in into my spirit: encouragement. That's why I want to give to UCB.
