This box set is coming out the same year that we are celebrating 10 years in music and ministry. It was March 9th, 1997 that we did our first concert at Brook Hollow Baptist Church in Nashville, TN. Later that year (on Father's Day) we went into a small studio on the 8th floor of United Artist Tower to record an independent CD for friends and family. We had done several concerts since that first one in March, and Nicol had been asked to sing for a youth group in Indiana. She invited Allan and me along. I can remember driving up there wondering what we had gotten ourselves into. We hadn't had time to write any original material for that first concert back in March, so we picked our favorite hymns and worship songs. Now we were going to sing these hymns for teenagers. I knew they were going to be so bored and laugh us off the stage. But something happened that night. There was such a connection with those teenagers. They worshiped, raised their hands, and sang the songs that they knew with us. One young man came up to Allan afterward and said "That It Is Well song, that's a great song, did you guys write that one?" Allan reached for a hymnal and said "It's right in here."

We look forward to many more years with all of you. We are so grateful to all of you who have come to our concerts, and purchased our CD's. Many of you have bought multiple copies and given them to friends (subliminal message). Thank you for supporting us. Thank you to all the churches and promoters who work so hard to bring us in. You all allow us to do what we do. We thank our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for everything He has allowed us to do. We thank Him that we get to do what we love. The very fact that He uses us to minister is awesome and humbling. We hope you enjoy this box set, and we pray that God will use these songs to draw you closer to Him.
