I just have no words. Not because I have any issues with David’s declaration – I definitely do not – but because I just can’t imagine the turmoil that has been such a huge part of his life for all these years. And, can you just feel the turmoil leaving his life now? David’s honesty has always been such a trump card in his hand – he plays it well. Praying for him as he moves forward with this new lease on life. ♥♥

Thanks to:
Djafan for this post
Abrra for the great Sunday puzzle
Jan for her Sunday comment of support for David
Tawna for her beautiful words of compassion
David for sharing his thoughts
So now we have a greater understanding of all that therapy David has been singing about. Terrific that he is weighing in on this topic. I often feel that David has significant tasks to perform beyond his music. How wonderful that he is willing to share as a means of helping others.
As sobering and serious as his thoughts were I could not help chuckling at his struggle for words. How many times have I smiled as he tried to get his point made on stage. Pure David. Gotta love him.

“@TeamArchie08 We asked if y’all were ready for Archie overload! We weren’t joking! Even more to come!” They weren’t kidding! #DavidArchuleta
Fun puzzle…went together really fast with all the colors. I have loved David since WOTWTC at his audition and will never change. His sexual orientation has nothing to do with his God given talent! David is David and nothing can change that. He came into my life when I needed heavenly intervention so I have to hear that beautiful voice of his every day. ♥

Hi Jan, Tawna, and Dawn! Thank you for your comments and continued support of this website. Life has a way of prioritizing our tasks for sure.
I’ve loved David since Shop Around and nothing else matters. His voice and humble character sealed the deal for me. His music has helped me through so much and I pray for his well being.

Abrra, this was the performance that I was lucky enough to be at (It may have been the Saturday evening one, I’m not sure). ♥♥ He sang with the choir at a performance last night but they didn’t do this song because Lee Greenwood was the headline act. He sang Old Church Choir with them. My daughter-in-law said it was – again – amazing!
