When I met Timmy a couple of years ago, link, his light that shines from within really touched my heart. When I heard him sing, it was what I imagined an angel's voice would sound like.
I'm so excited to share his wonderful journey and beautiful voice wih America. I'm positive you'll fall in love with him just as I did. Please tune in on Tuesday to the CBS Early Show, 7:00 - 9:00 am.
Also, if you know of an uplifting story fitting the description in Gar's column, you can add it here in comments or email it to me.

Timmy looks like he's ready to run away, as fast as he can.

Since I was a very small girl I've been praying to God begging for healing. I asked God to make me a "normal girl". I asked him to let me
dance, run, ride bikes, fall in love, have children. I kept asking him through the years to strengthen my legs and make me walk straight
and beautifully. I spent the years in my twenties and thirties running around from meeting to meeting, church to church looking for that
"magic" healing guy who would lay hands on me and bring my miracle. I've been anointed countless times with oil, I've been prayed for
millions of times. Although most of my prayers were answered I never saw that magic healing I was looking for.
On my first night in the hotel at team training I was praying asking for God's strength to get me through the next months with grace. God
answered my prayer with the words of a Kenny Loggins song. The title of the song is "This is It" and it goes like this:
For once in your life, here's your miracle
Stand up and fight
This is it
Make no mistake where you are
This is it
You're going no further
This is it
Until it's over and done
No one can tell you what you know
Who makes the choice of how it goes
It's not up to me this time
You know
There comes a day in every life
This is it
Make no mistake where you are
This is it
You're going no further
This is it
Until it's over and done
This is it
One way or another
This is it
No one can tell what the future holds
This is it
Your back's to the corner
This is it
You make the choice of how it goes
This is it
The waiting is over
This is it

Hello Flavia,
Thought you would like to hear this story. Timmy and Eileen are back in New York today with his drama class. They went to Broadway to see Mary Poppins and got to meet the cast prior to the show. They intereacted with them on stage, very cool. After that, all of the students, teachers, parents, etc. went to Planet Hollywood to get something to eat. Eileen noticed this woman running toward them and figured she was running to catach a train or something. She runs right up to Timmy and Eileen and says "I've never done this before, please excuse me. Yesterday, while I was getting ready to go to work, I was watching the CBS Early Show and I saw you. It was time to leave for work, but I couldn't go, I had to hear your story. Then I got to hear you sing. I watched the entire show and was late for work". The woman went on to say how remarkable Timmy is and how she was touched by the story. VERY COOL.
Last night I got a call from Dennis O'Brien (Speaker of the House in PA). I am sure you know who Dennis is. Anyway, he told me he was rushing to get into the office and when he arrived, the show was on. He had his staff stop whatever they were doing to come and watch the show. They loved it and many of them were crying, including Dennis. Thought you would want to hear those stories.
Tim
