If I am having a bad day all I have to do is plug in an Amy cd and things instantly get better. Question Who would you like to sing another duet with? There has been a long thread on the Amy Grant news group.

08:04:35 PM> MODMSG KPrince:Amy: I was excited to hear about the movie you made. Can you give us a brief preview? Thanks! Kendra

08:05:09 PM> MODMSG NYJenn:Amy, what is your favorite song from the new Christmas album and why?

08:05:10 PM>Amy Grant:Bruce, I always wanted to sing a song with James Taylor

08:05:34 PM>Amy Grant:I'm not much of a planner... just whatever comes my way is what I end up doing...

08:06:23 PM>Amy Grant:Thanks Kendra... I play a blind cellist...

08:06:24 PM> MODMSG fruitcake4U:whats yor second confession?

08:07:10 PM>Amy Grant:Christmas Can't be Very far Away... it's written by Roger Cook.. brand new… sounds old

08:07:39 PM>Amy Grant:also, Christmas Lullabye, a song that I wrote with Chris Eaton

08:07:59 PM> MODMSG SmithFamKY:Love your version of Carol kings song on Tapestry revisited. What was it like working with the Bee Gees?

08:08:14 PM> MODMSG skywarn2tn:Okay, I am having a hard time understanding how this is ran, is there someone screening before it goes throught ot Amy?

08:08:15 PM>Amy Grant:Rockon... I don't think Nebraska is on the itinerary... sorry... next year maybe

08:08:39 PM> MODMSG Chris:Please Please Please post my question!... Amy, you have always been such an inspiration to me. My wife and I were so saddened by your and Gary's divorce. We continue to pray for healing. Can you give us any advice as a Christian couple struggling in our own marriage?

08:08:39 PM>Amy Grant:this chat is making me nervous.

08:08:52 PM>Amy Grant:I don't think this fast....

08:09:15 PM>Amy Grant:I didn't work with the Bee Gees...

08:09:27 PM> MODMSG BIG FAN:i dont think that fast either.....

08:09:33 PM> MODMSG Nazgrad:Amy Upstate NY says HI

08:09:42 PM>Amy Grant:If somebody is screening this, I don't know about it....

08:09:45 PM> MODMSG David Wheatley I:I'm logged on from a library in Los Angeles.Third graders on both sides.

08:10:45 PM> MODMSG RLHOOP:Hi Amy, This is Rebecca , i live in Dickson, Tenn. Just wanted you to know you and your music have been an inspiration to me and now my two girls enjoy listening to you as well! We are looking forward to seeing you this year at Christmas! How are you and your family doing since the divorce?

08:11:09 PM> MODMSG kate:Don't worry Amy, there are just hundreds of people here, that makes it wierd. The nice thing is everyone is here because they care about you even if they don't know you.

08:11:37 PM> MODMSG Chris:Kate's right... we all love and support you bunches!

08:12:50 PM>Amy Grant:Chris, what to say.... divorce is not about good and bad people... but maybe about good and bad combinations of people... don't stop talking to each other.. if you can maintain your respect for yourself and each other, you can maintain your marriage....

08:13:28 PM>Amy Grant:david... you're in good company..

08:14:21 PM> MODMSG meggles58:I just wanted to let you know Amy that my best friends dad was just killed in a car accident, and your album has helped both of us get through this time. Your songs on Behind the Eyes explain so well what we were goin through. Although you may have written the song with a totally different topic, your words can mean so much to someone who is goin through a totally different kind of event.

08:14:28 PM> MODMSG Sandswept:When will the Christmas Cd be out?

08:14:49 PM> MODMSG Jonesy:Any thoughts on what we can expect on the upcoming Christmas tour?

08:14:50 PM>Amy Grant:RLHOOP... the dust is settling....thankfully… Matt, Millie and Sarah have started off on a great school year,,,

08:15:27 PM> MODMSG Shannie:My best friend died and Michael's Leesha helped me. I change the words to I hear Janay laughing in heaven tonight.

08:15:41 PM> MODMSG jbeeg70723:amy, what is your favorite album to date? mine would be either heart in motion (helped me get through desert storm) or behind the eyes (helps my wife and i throught lifes everyday tribulations)

08:15:48 PM> MODMSG Robin:Your song "Somewhere Down the Road" really came at a great time for me in my struggle with life. Thank you for those words, and I believe it will be that way!

08:15:59 PM>Amy Grant:They say it takes 5 years to really recover from divorce, but like any hurt, any improvement is noticeable and welcomed... all in all, we are doing quite well... all of us...

08:16:03 PM> MODMSG Simon Hsu:Hi Amy, this is very cool emailing all the way from China....we just wanted to send you this verse Isaiah 40:31. We are in a year long mission trip and miss your music very much.

08:16:22 PM> MODMSG sunshine:Amy, today is my son's 18th birthday...he wants to be a Christian singer and musician...writes beautifully..any words of wisdom for him?

08:17:22 PM>Amy Grant:Shannie... Behind the Eyes is the album of mine that I relate the most to... but I don't listen to it anymore...

08:18:02 PM>Amy Grant:Today I listen to Asleep at the Wheel, Tribute to Bob Wills, Lyle Lovett, Bonnie Raitt, and Chris Rice

08:18:15 PM> MODMSG sjmom:Hi Amy! I'm Sara. I have been a fan of yours since I was a teen. I'm 33 now. Your songs have been an inspiration to me and helped me through rough times and have pumped me up in good times. My dreams as a teen was to sing professionally but God deemed for it to be in our church with trio, choirs, etc. Thank you for being such an inspiration in that part of my life. Also, I wanted to let you know that you and your family have been in my prayers over the past year. Thanks! Sara

08:18:54 PM> MODMSG al adams:Amy, I'm a Professional Counselor working with people recoverying from Family of Origin issues. I just want you to know I use a lot of your music with my clients and have been using it for years. Your music has been helpful for me personnally and for the clients I work with. Thanks.

08:18:58 PM> MODMSG Jennie:What do find helps you most through your darkest hour?

08:18:59 PM>Amy Grant:sunshine... tell your son to sing as much as he can right where he is...

08:19:34 PM>Amy Grant:you only get noticed doing what you do, if you're doing it....

08:19:48 PM> MODMSG sara:Ms. Grant, Please post this!!!! What's it like working with Micheal W. Smith? Both of you are Brilliant Song witers, What's next??

08:20:08 PM> MODMSG Paula:Amy, while I looooovvvvvvveeeeeee and support your more recent albums, as a Christian I would sooooooooooo enjoy another more spiritual album from you. Is there any chance that you may do a Christian album again in the near future? Hearing you sing Nothing is Beyond You, and Somewhere Down The Road REALLY made me long for a whole album. Plus we need more material to sing at church, Amy Grant material that is!!!!

08:20:15 PM>Amy Grant:Thank you sara....

08:20:40 PM> MODMSG Robin:I really appreciate your grace and poise in anything I see you do. I loved it when you told that reporter with a rather rude question about a song on Behind the Eyes that it was a low blow!! Go, girl!

08:20:56 PM> MODMSG Spenser:Could you tell us a little more about your experience making the television movie? Did you enjoy it and would you do it again, given the chance?

08:21:14 PM> MODMSG Buzzer: Amy, I don't listen to Behind the Eyes anymore either - but it helped me through a terrible time - especially The Feeling I Had - but now I am on the other side of it all and God does give us more than we could ever ask or imangine - sometimes He just has to empty our hands to give us the good things He has for us.

08:21:17 PM>Amy Grant:Jennie... Mundane tasks that have to be done are one way of putting one foot in front of the other...

08:21:48 PM>Amy Grant:Nothing stays the same... the good news is that dark times pass... of course, never quickly enough...

08:21:49 PM> MODMSG Jill Barth:Please Post! Amy, what to you hope to do next in your career?

08:21:59 PM> MODMSG steph:Amy, I just want to say thank you for your music- you've been my favourite singer since I was about 10 (I'm 20 now!).You've truly been the inspiration I needed to start singing in churches here in Canada.

08:22:18 PM> MODMSG Shannie:I feel your pain when I listen to Behind the Eyes. Ok I must have written the most messages, PLEASE acknowledge me.

08:22:59 PM>Amy Grant:Spenser... it took 4 weeks to make the CBS made-for-tv movie...

08:23:21 PM> MODMSG Tracie:Amy when will the TV movie be on?

08:24:30 PM>Amy Grant:The first week was so hard... I was playing a blind woman.. I had to mime playing the cello... the strings of my bow were soaped, so you couldn't hear how poorly I was playing... about the 4th day, I started feeling like part of the team... Keith

08:24:41 PM> MODMSG jodelle anne:I guess the moderator doesn't like me. I'm so disappointed. I really wanted a personal word. But I suppose everyone who writes does. Maybe I'll get a chance in Heaven. But then I won't really care because I'll have Jesus. What do you think about God lately? Jodelle Anne

08:24:56 PM>Amy Grant: Keith Carradine and DW Moffatt were fabulous to work with

08:25:12 PM> MODMSG Sabahat:Pleeeeeeze post my message. I am dying to tell Amy that she is my absolute favourite singer in the west and I am from Pakistan. You have always been an inspiration for me, and although I myself am not a Christian, I love many Christian thoughts and philosophies because of you

08:25:20 PM>Amy Grant:and the catering was amazing.... I stilll have the 10 pounds to prove it...

08:25:37 PM> MODMSG Buce:Beside golf and singing what else do you like to do?

08:25:42 PM>Amy Grant:If you're not busy Sunday night, Sept. 26th it's a charming story...

08:26:00 PM> MODMSG Shannie:What do you think about sex selling music these days. In other words, Shania Twain

08:26:14 PM> MODMSG patchespal:Amy, you're my daughter's namesake - what can I say - love your music! Can't wait for your new Christmas Album - looking forward to seeing you in Seattle at Christmas! Blessings to you and your family!

08:26:34 PM> MODMSG Nazgrad:Are you going to star on Broadway? I heard rumors

08:26:42 PM>Amy Grant:Jill... I'd like to make another record....

08:26:58 PM>Amy Grant:Sabahat... thank you....

08:27:03 PM> MODMSG scooter:The Collection is my all time favorite. I went thorugh about six tapes before getting a cd player. What inspires you to wirte a song? Do you always draw on personal experience?

08:27:22 PM> MODMSG TNskywarn:It's not only Shania--it's Leann Rimes, too

08:28:08 PM>Amy Grant:Jodelle Anne... I hope He's as merciful as ever...

08:28:29 PM> MODMSG grumpy:How is Ork? Any new animal pals?

08:28:38 PM> MODMSG Johanna:What Network will it be on? CBC? ABC? What?

08:29:17 PM>Amy Grant:Nazgrad.... This TN girl would be hard-pressed to live in NY...

08:29:45 PM> MODMSG rockinrobin:Did you know you were the calendar girl for August in the purina calendar? Ork too.

08:29:51 PM> MODMSG ksanders:PLEASE POST - Amy are you planning to stick with the smaller venues when you give concerts? I hope so, I really enjoyed the intamate atmosphere. I was able to enjoy you in Chicago and in Atlantic City for your BTE tour

08:30:06 PM> MODMSG Simon Hsu:hi amy! my name is Gloria from China and I'm talking to my brother as he types in my words...i miss home and your encouragements

08:30:35 PM> MODMSG Ateree:Amy, have you thought of singing in Spanish?

08:31:17 PM> MODMSG AmyFanfromWI:What is the meaning behind the song "Curious Thing"? Who are the 3 people you sing about in each verse?

08:31:28 PM>Amy Grant:TNskywarn & Shannie.....about Shania and Leann... when I was their age, I didn't have that kind of confidence, not to mention that kind of body.... good music stands the test of time...

08:31:34 PM> MODMSG Arica:PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE POST!!!! Ms. Amy, I LOVE your music! You are such a great performer....=) I love your cd "House of Love" album. It was neat! Do you ever get to meet any other Christian stars like Steve Green? From Arica

08:31:50 PM> MODMSG The Texas Spaz:WOW! We got people from all over the world in here?!?! *C.C. ponders how awesome it is that Amy has touched so many lives all over the world.* =0)

08:32:27 PM> MODMSG jeffw:Please post! Amy can do a Spanish album with Ricky Martin!

08:33:19 PM> MODMSG kimberlypearce:Amy, I was first introduced to your music at Gustavus Adolphus College in Minnesota. Since then I've been a great fan, and you inspired me to learn how to play the guitar. Any advice on bar chords? They seem impossible. I've played the piano for 27 years and I don't think my hands bend that way!

08:33:25 PM>Amy Grant:Rockinrobin.... my beloved German Shephard, Ork, was put down 2 weeks ago Thursday...He lived to be 13 and 1/2 ... a ripe old age for his breed... thank you for mentioning the calendar... I was crazy about him... and the feeling was mutual

08:33:36 PM> MODMSG Katja:TX Spaz!! Great seeing you here! It is neat how Amy has touched many lives all over the globe!!

08:33:48 PM> MODMSG scooter:Curious Thing - another great song. Do you know the girl with geeky glasses and greasy hair or did you make her up?

08:33:55 PM> MODMSG Jeannette18:Please post...Amy what is an average day for you? what do you do?

08:34:10 PM> MODMSG Paula:How come I get a message that my post has been sent to Amy, but it doesn't show up on the screen? Is it not going through????

08:34:17 PM> MODMSG Linz:In regards to Leann and Shania, what about purity? WOuld you want your daughter to dress like that?

08:34:40 PM> MODMSG Kat:Will someone post just one message, please? I am beginning to feel rejected. Amy, your Children of the World song is so wonderful and inspiring. What charities do you work with? Are any for children?

08:34:52 PM> MODMSG AmyGrantRules:please post this Hi Amy this is Karen from Cali I gave you a scrapbook at your reception in 97 I just want you to know that I love your music and I am so sorry to hear about Ork I did the same with my GSD 2 months ago I was so sad

08:34:55 PM> MODMSG Pete:Sorry about your dog

08:35:01 PM> MODMSG NoraJane:Amy, there are far too many postings and not enough of you! This must be overwhelming for you!

08:35:05 PM>Amy Grant:jeffw.... my daughter, Millie, has xeroxed countless pictures of Ricky Martin... nothing would thrill her more...do you know if he does Christmas music? I'm looking for a guest for a television Christmas special...

08:35:42 PM> MODMSG bomb:lol

08:37:07 PM> MODMSG MelissaLee:Amy, I, too, adored "Nothing is Beyond You" and would love another "spriritual" album like Straight Ahead but more contemporary. Given it any thought at all??

08:37:14 PM> MODMSG deb:YOU were the catalyst God used in my life 13 yrs ago to bring me to Him. Your name is in every testimony that passes through my lips. Thanks so much. Also ... any advice for those women & moms out there wearing multiple "Hats"???

08:37:21 PM> MODMSG Brittnye:I'll sing with you!!!!!!!!!!!!

08:37:25 PM>Amy Grant:Kat... We just opened the Target House in Memphis TN... free room and board for children and their families being treated at St. Jude Childrens Hospital... my friends, Scott Hamilton and Tiger Woods, and I felt this was the most important chartity work we had done to date

08:37:35 PM> MODMSG Gail W:Amy, I've not heard Ricky Martin do any Christian music but most likely he could! Wish you the best as always!

08:37:45 PM>Amy Grant:I've also been involved with Habitat for Humanity since 1988

08:38:29 PM> MODMSG Johanna:Purty please with Sugar on top and a cherry if you like them...Post this! I've waited my whole life (all but about 5 or 6 years anyway) just to be able to say Hi to Amy...here's my (what appears COULD Be my first chance) HI! I was wondering how and when you first met Scott Hamilton? He is my all-time FAVORITE Ice-skater. What is he like "in real life"?

08:38:47 PM> MODMSG myshadows:does Matt still help you with habitat houses?

08:38:54 PM> MODMSG Sabahat:Amy how can someone sitting far away like me in Pakistan, help any of your charities

08:39:18 PM> MODMSG Shannie:Do you think you and gary got married too young/ Just got engaged and am unsure

08:39:42 PM>Amy Grant:MelissaLee.... I hope to make more faith-based music in the future... I don't really know when that creativity will express itself...

08:39:58 PM> MODMSG TimJD:How can we help you achieve more of your gaols. I am going into education and want to help as many kids as possible

08:40:14 PM> MODMSG dianainaustin:I'm confused. Am i doing something wrong? How come none of my stuff is getting posted. Is it being screened? Are my questions too boring? :-)

08:40:26 PM> MODMSG Bowsmith:Please! Post you nice moderator! AMY! Are any of your children showing interest in music?

08:40:38 PM> MODMSG HiD:Shannie... if you're unsure, ask JESUS! Not Amy Grant! I wholeheartedly love Amy, but I think life questions like that should be directed to our Lord and Saviour!

08:40:43 PM>Amy Grant:Johanna.... Scott is warm, charming, unbelievably nurturing to everyone around him...

08:41:06 PM> MODMSG SMcGuire:Your critics weren't happy when you crossed over to secular music but I think it was a FABULOUS ministry opportunity -- get the secular crowd to the concert and halfway through pull out all the "old" Christian music. GREAT IDEA!!! Keep up the great work. I very much enjoy your music. :-)

08:41:15 PM>Amy Grant:I met him almost 4 years ago... we were both speaking to a group of high school kids about pursuing your dreams....

08:41:27 PM> MODMSG ConnieW:Amy, will the AOL Live chat that was planned ever be rescheduled? By the way, I believe they have moderators who decide what questions you receive... :-)

08:41:34 PM> MODMSG andrea k:Other than the Bible, do you have a favorite book you've read lately? Or a favorite author? Thx, Andrea (Nashville)

08:41:37 PM>Amy Grant:There has never been a more romantic figure on the ice...

08:41:47 PM> MODMSG Ron Roark:Amy, Have you EVER discussed doing a reunion tour with Michael W. Smith? I think that would be incredible....Way better than the "Eagles" reunion!!!

08:41:56 PM> MODMSG cabo:It is difficult to get a word in here, but I've been waiting 15 years so here goes again. I am glad we have such positive influences in our lives as yourself, considering all the craziness in the world. Who are some people/ things that inspire you day to day?

08:42:10 PM> MODMSG Wonderbug:Please post this....I'm starting to feel rejected :-( Hi Amy. I really enjoy your music. I have volunteered to work with our confirmation students at my church and would love to know if you have any ideas for music that would help them relate to the real world? Kim Ryan - MD

08:43:23 PM> MODMSG SmithFamKY://HEART We love you amy

08:43:27 PM>Amy Grant:I'm reading a great devotional book right now... the remake of Morning& Evening by Charles Spurgeon...

08:44:10 PM> MODMSG Kev:Hi Amy! How is church life? Do you have a good support system around you?

08:44:15 PM> MODMSG The Texas Spaz:Amy, if you could do a duet with any female country singer, who would ya pick?

08:44:28 PM>Amy Grant:last night I started a book about a father and his 7-year-old daughter on a fly-fishing trip...the name escapes me right now....same author wrote Final Rounds.

08:44:32 PM> MODMSG sara:Please post!!!!! please post!!!!!! Ms.Grant, how your golf game?

08:45:09 PM> MODMSG kevinconner://Rose Here's a rose for you Amu

08:45:15 PM> MODMSG Simon Hsu:Amy, my sister's chinese students are listening in...I can't talk too much about the gospel but we are trying to share with them your music....

08:45:22 PM> MODMSG Shannie:I really hope Gary has received this tyep of support too. You both deserve it. And i'm a fan of both of yours. I hope he knows we love him too.

08:46:07 PM> MODMSG Robbie:My 2 girls and I loved meeting you at the Target store in Horn Lake, MS--remember the 7 matching BTE tour T-shirts?? Hard to miss! How can you continue to "connect" with and be so gracious to so many of us in the midst of your own pain? Thank-you and we can't wait to see you in Tupelo, MS on Nov. 24!

08:46:18 PM> MODMSG Kat:I can't believe we've been in here 45 minutes already! It's gone so fast! Amy, God bless you, and I think I speak for most when I say we care about you and you'll be in our prayers.

08:46:19 PM>Amy Grant:the last time I was in NY, I sang at the Hammerstein Ballroom... I had seen Lyle Lovett there earlier that year.... must have been last summer... right now, I'm busy rebuilding a life..

08:46:42 PM> MODMSG azalex:Jeannette from Tucson, my daughter Alex is only 3 and she can recongnize your songs from only three notes. I guess that tell you how much I listen to you. Will you ever write a autobiography?

08:46:58 PM> MODMSG bobbi://haha hey amy! you should write a book!!!!

08:47:33 PM> MODMSG NicholasJ:I second that--a book by you would be so GREAT!!

08:47:40 PM> MODMSG JenniferR:You and your music has been such a great ministry in my life. I am thankful that He chose to use you. You are in my prayers. Keep up the great work!

08:47:43 PM> MODMSG kert:What's your favorite love song?

08:47:47 PM> MODMSG Sandswept:Autobiography! Great idea. We can wait as long as needed. I'm only 30, I have time.

08:47:57 PM> MODMSG TimJD:I third the book idea.

08:48:13 PM> MODMSG NoraJane:So, a person who's already gets posted. I've tried to get front row seats, tenth row seats, etc. and can't even get that. And someone that's already MET you gets posted. Do I sound resentful? 20 years I've supported your music. It's changed my life. My son's first song was "Baby, Baby". He'd say "Amy Grant?" everytime I put on any music! You've impressed our whole family.

08:48:37 PM>Amy Grant:to everyone who has written.....trust me, I'm reading all of your comments... as you can tell, I only respond to a few of them because I never learned to do anything fast...in fact, if you have to know, that would probably be the #1 observation that my children make of me....my speed... slow....thank you for all the kind words...

08:48:43 PM> MODMSG jbeeg70723:there is an autobiogrophy.............from like 1985 or so

08:49:03 PM> MODMSG AmyGrantRules:please please please post this Amy if I bring you 2 more scrapbooks to the concert in December will you get them safely from whoever I give them too I want you to have 3 of them one for Matt, Millie and Sara

08:49:21 PM> MODMSG Dr Dave://Thumbsup Amy, a decade ago my girlfriend introduced me to your music. It was you, in large part, who brought me to Christ. Bless you and thank you!

08:49:33 PM> MODMSG Valerie_Nelson:AMY!!! I don't know if I will ever get posted! I hope that I do because we are imder a sever thunderstorm warning. Anways... I wanted you to know what an inspiration you are to me! ( do you remember the happy birthday sign at the Target Center last Xmas?) Anyways... what kind of advice do you have for a struggling teen trying to find God?

08:49:41 PM> MODMSG GoVandy:Amy, any chance you'll run for Governor of TN?

08:49:57 PM> MODMSG RyanL:Never lose the faith Amy. After the fire is over, after the ashes cool, after the smoke is blown away, we will be here for you

08:50:06 PM> MODMSG smarties:The 1985 was just a biography I believe

08:50:17 PM> MODMSG babybaby:Are you actually typing right now?

08:50:50 PM>Amy Grant:AmyGrantRules... thank you for the scrapbooks for matt, Millie and Sarah... yes, I will get them... the question is, will the children ever look at them....

08:51:06 PM> MODMSG Chris:Please, Please, Please... say something abou t Jesus!

08:51:07 PM>Amy Grant:maybe on a really rainy day... .like Noah kind of rainy....

08:51:13 PM> MODMSG ConnieW:I looked up the book - Faithful Travelers by James Dodson

08:52:02 PM> MODMSG ariel:Amy, I have an idea... Come to the Sydney 2000 Olympics, then do a tour. I promise I'll show up.... //smiley

08:52:52 PM> MODMSG HiD:My husband says you'll answer if I just keep typing. It seems that more messages would only cause you to be overwhelmed! However, I laughed when someone wrote about their kids asking for Amy Grant! That reminds me of me! As I prepared to prepare to have my first baby, the only thing I wanted FOR SURE in my "bags" (which ended up unpacked!) was my Amy music!!!

08:53:03 PM> MODMSG The Texas Spaz://smiley Did ya know that some of the "Amy's House" Habitat for Humanity builders and founders are in here? *Hi ya'll!* //haha (I like embarrassing them)

08:53:11 PM> MODMSG Amy4President:Come to the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver!!

08:53:14 PM> MODMSG Simon Hsu:Amy, please play on the Great Wall...it has great echos...

08:53:30 PM> MODMSG Maria Young:Hi from a local Nashivillian. Are you still here in Nash or are you going to move. I think you've been such a pos influence here. The music stuff is strange here isn't it. Do you think it's warfare, or are people just hurtful. How do you handle it?

08:53:35 PM> MODMSG myshadows:THanks for your time tonight

08:53:54 PM>Amy Grant:To all... everything that I ever believed about Jesus, the stuff that compelled me to trust him.... I have found to be true... His love is unconditional...His mercy is irresistable... whether we know it or not, for all of us who breathe,,, "In Him we live and move and have our being."

08:54:38 PM>Amy Grant:Simon.... great echos, huh?

08:54:49 PM> MODMSG dianainaustin:Amen, Amy.

08:54:52 PM> MODMSG bobbi://rose You Go Girl!!

08:55:05 PM> MODMSG jmr4jesus:Praise the Lord!

08:55:11 PM> MODMSG Penny:You are awsome! God has truely blessed us all for putting you here with us!!!!!!!

08:55:54 PM> MODMSG zwibelnetcomca:Am I doing something wrong? This is my first time in a chat room. Maybe I'm not supposed to give my e-mail address? Please post this to show me it works! Thanks

08:56:11 PM> MODMSG Myhre:This has been incredibly overwhelming to watch - I can't imagine having to answer questions about so many areas of your life. Just a quick thankyou and a prayerful be real, friend.

08:56:16 PM> MODMSG BehindTheEyes:I guess my message won't go up, but if you ever see this, Thanks so much for all the things that you have done for all man kind.

08:56:23 PM> MODMSG TLWK:My LAST TRY!! Amy, what was your reasoning behind going into secular music? What do you now consider to be the focus of your ministry?

08:57:47 PM> MODMSG sara:Poor Amy! having all these questions thrown at her at once!

08:57:55 PM> MODMSG MikeK:Please post -- Amy how did the Columbine tragedy affect you? Thanks for taking the time to be with us tonite!!

08:58:13 PM>Amy Grant:Maria.... I love nashville.. never plan to move.... I'm blessed with a high level of oblivion... got it from my father...I think it's the best music community of all.... A creative community, especially one where there's money to be made... is a multi-layered experience of genuine excitement and passion and unfortnately, manipulation and greed... but hey, we could all be working at the carwash.... which actually doesn't sound like a bad idea after the heat of Nashville....

08:58:46 PM> MODMSG Wonderbug://question So Amy...whens the next chat? :-)

08:59:50 PM> MODMSG Keisha:well, I give up - thanks for the opportunity to hear (see) your voice (typed words) - as always, it was truly a pleasure

08:59:52 PM>Amy Grant:Columbine.... I don't know that I was physically able to let the reality all the way in...

09:00:13 PM>Amy Grant:Keisha.. thank you...

09:00:26 PM> MODMSG NicholasJ:I loved meeting you and the private concert at the FOA reception in 1997. Thank you--Any plans for FOA receptions in the future?

09:00:48 PM> MODMSG Nance777:Please post this!!! We're almost finished and amy will be leaving us soon! Amy, I'm so thankful for the impact you've had on my life and many of my friends and family. The Lord has used you greatly and will continue I'm sure. With your divorce, you now have a new avenue to minister to others. Keep up the great work for His Kingdom and God bless!

09:00:56 PM> MODMSG michael:My wife and I loved the movie. It was so clean and kinda sweet and innocent which says a lot for movies today. You would have been a great co-star far better than "What's her name?"

09:01:51 PM>Amy Grant:Michael... you lost me....thanks anyway....

09:02:06 PM>Amy Grant:did I mention.. slow??

09:02:54 PM> MODMSG Ginahoop3:Amy- I hope you have close friends who really know you and stand by you. I have found such friends at it is such a blessing. I'm sure it is hard knowing who really cares for you and who just wants a part of showbiz. I hope as you start this new journey in your life that you find joy and happiness.

09:03:07 PM>Amy Grant:thanks everybody! Go love on your friends and family... thanks for spending the last hour with me.....
