Though our American economy is in trouble, especially in Los Angeles, we want to be thankful for what we do have and that certainly includes our loyal friends. I was thinking of Elvis Presley, a man who never took for granted his gifts from God. Elvis gave thanks to God - to Jesus Christ - for his talent and he felt it was a gift he was meant to use, to be an entertainer and help people forget their problems for a while. He also chose to record Gospel as a means to uplift their spirits - and his.The Elvis I knew was a dichotomy in his way. He was a famous Rock and Roller and a sensualist, but also a Gospel Singer, a devout believer in Christ, with great loyalty to family and his family of friends. To be part of his musical Rock and Roll family at the house was a honor.
