Hello, I'm Patty A Smith born Wayne co. Monticello Ky.  Married to my best friend, the best man God ever put on earth as I tell it. We have a son & daughter 2 little grandsons 2 & 4 yrs.

  I was brought up in a church of God, a very strict religion, if a girl wore a pair jean's she had backslide. It has taken 40 years to realize, God is not sitting in heaven condemning us all, but he loves us unconditionally.

  I don't ever remember a time that I wasn't aware of Jesus, and he gave his life to save my soul. My daddy was a very talented man started playing 5 string banjo at the age of 3, he could play any instrument he picked up. My sister and I started singing in church about 5 years old, staying every close we just grew up singing together. My grandpa pap taught me the major cords on guitar, I started playing guitar at 12 years of age. I have always played and sang in church most all my life.

  I had went to the alter many times asking Jesus to save me, but the next day I wore Jean's to school, I was a backslider. So I thought there was no way I could live a Christian life. But Feb. 7 1987 I gave every thing to Jesus he saved me that night and I knew I'd never be pushed away from Jesus because of clothes or the length of my hair.

March 29, 1987 I was baptized in beaver creek, lake Cumberland a very cold day in March but I didn't feel the chill I came out if that water shouting. I received the gift of speaking in tongues April 4 1987.   

  I love to sing about what a almighty God I serve, and I love to praise my Jesus and lift him up. I try to sing songs that will cause someone who is not born again to think where will they be when this life is over. I want to minister through song to the lost and dying world, I want to reach the people who think they will never be good enough,  who think they don't belong. I guess I take the word to heart, the whole don't need a physician, but the sick do,  the people who go to church and hear the word, have no reason not to give their heart to Jesus.  But the drunks in the alley, the drug addict shooting up because they have nothing to live for, they need to hear a song that tells them there is hope in Jesus.

  I'm 56 yrs old and I wonder can God really use me to minister to the lost, can God use me to be a light to some one.. most songs tell a story and I'm Listener. I cry because I can feel other people's feeling and when I try to talk I cry, but I can sang, and not cry!

  I want to live my life in such away that those who don't know God will come to know God because they know me.

  I have given all that I am to my father God. A vessel he can use.          Patty Smith
