    Well Brad, it is kind of like this.  It's like sign language except I
make up the movements.  God seems to just give me the movements to do.  I
can't do every song that's christian but God gives me the songs to do.  I do
songs like I Can Only Imagine, The Anchor holds, Holy Ground, Thank You, and
many, many more.  It's hard to explain what it is.  Alot of youth groups do
it.  I used to do it with my youth group at church but after I lost my sight
I didn't feel right about doing it with them anymore.  I do songs that
really have a meaning for myself, that I can really put my feelings into.  A
good example is The Anchor Holds by Ray Boltz.  This song was written for a
different reason I know but to me it's my testimony song I think, because it
describes what I went through when loosing my sight.  I hope this helps
Brad.

Amy
