New CD
:
We want to thank each and every one of you who have
ordered our newest CD entitled
“One More
Miracle” or have gotten it at one of our concerts. Your feed back to
it has been very positive, heart-touching and definitely uplifting. We
are so thankful to all of you.
Our first and foremost goal in life is to be a
blessing and a light to someone.
If we can sing a song or say a word that would turn someone’s
life around and lead them to
CHRIST then we have accomplished it all. And when this life is over
we can stand and say as Paul said in II Timothy 4:7 “I have fought a
good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith”. That will
be our award! The road sometimes gets rough and rocky as we travel down
here, but make no mistake; it will be worth it all in the end! Thank you
and GOD bless you for your
prayers and support for our family’s ministry. If we can ever be of
assistance to you, please don’t hesitate to get in touch!
We want to thank all of the program directors and
DJ’s who have already showcased our new CD on their programs. Your
kindness is very much appreciated.
Be looking for our new single from this project on
the “Eddie Crook Sampler 2008-05” to hit the radio stations very soon.
Starting the last of June or first of July, you will be able to download
our songs on ITunes.

Dottie Rambo killed in bus accident
Dottie Rambo and Shawn Shannon
We were very sad to learn that Dottie Rambo had
been killed in a bus accident and that other people on the bus were
injured.
We were blessed to have recorded a few of Dottie's
songs down through the years and we count it a great honor that we knew
her. She always had a word of encouragement for everyone she met;
she was a great soldier in the army for the Lord. Her testimony
she has left behind speaks for itself. Her songs will live on and
on and what a great gift she has given to the world to enjoy.
She was a great friend and we are going to miss her
dearly. "Our loss is Heaven's gain".
Please remember her family as they grieve her loss.
Pray for the one's that were injured in the accident and their families.
New CD Recording:
We just returned from Nashville finishing up recording
our new CD. It will be available last part of April or first part of

Wilma speaks at Heart breakfast
Wilma recently was asked to give a speech at a breakfast
hosted by the American Heart
Association about heart disease survivors. Several Businesses were
represented including the new athletic director for Ball State University,
Tom Collins.
Heart Disease is the No. 1 Killer of women over 25.
Cardiovascular diseases kills nearly 500,000 women each year.
One in five women in the US have cardiovascular disease. More than
half of those will die suddenly with no previous symptoms.
Men are generally considered the main sufferers of heart
disease, but studies have shown recently that two women to every man will
die of heart disease. This is a serious business for women.
Women need to get educated about their hearts. This is not a man's
disease anymore.
The Go Red for women is the
American Heart Association's
national campaign to raise awareness about women's No. 1 killer, Heart
Disease. You can call 1-888-MY-HEART to receive a free red dress pin
and brochures or click on the above link. You can also contact Wilma
for literature by emailing her at
shannons@theshannons.com. We will also have literature at our
concerts.
Wilma is asking all women to take control of their lives.
