Hanging out with Ginny!


My cousin, Ginny Owens, was in town last weekend for a concert. So we had the pleasure of spending most of Saturday with her and then attending the concert on Sunday night. She is an inspiration to be around. She is completely blind but you wouldn't know it from all of the things she has accomplished already in her short life. She is an accomplished contemporary christian singer, teaches underpriveleged kids in NYC in music and song writing classes, has a non-profit organization called the Fingerprint Initiative where she has helped build homes for families in need AND she can hang wallpaper. Pretty impressive, huh? She would never want me bragging on her like this, though. She is very humble and grateful for all of her experiences. We are just proud of her and like to toot her horn for her sometimes. You can hear some of her music at www.myspace.com/ginnyowens.

Oh yea, she was signing her autograph, too which was amazing to watch. She inspires me to be more in this life that God has given me.
