Della Reese

I don't see how I possibly could have come from where I entered the planet to where I am now if there had not been angels along the way.

There are people much less fortunate than us, and I don't mean people hungry sleeping in the streets either.

My mother was a personal friend of God's. They had ongoing conversations.

So whatever it is you want, need or desire or just like to have, you better try to get it now, 'cause this is the only time there is.

I also work with the spirituality of people.

I have been a Christian all my life, but it's impossible to be so deeply involved in these stories without it making you think again, and without it making you consciously aware of the people involved.

You see, I was born in the slums, that was before the ghetto. The ghetto was kind of refined; the slums was right there on the ground.

It's the truth and people need to hear the truth.

I don't have to take insulin because I have been able to make these changes and take this medication.

So I all knew was you lost your limbs and you died from it. I was scared silly.

I teach metaphysics and pastor a church.

They started to try and keep us off the air in the beginning.

People have known me for so long, I'm just Della to them.

Touching people is very rewarding to me.

Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow may be for us and it may not.

I like to sing very much.

We have made people in the industry and the people that see us aware that God loves them.

Sometimes I think the choir gets a little ticked with me because I haven't sung in a long time and I can sing.

I have a children's book already out and my autobiography.

When you really believe in God it gives you a courage a confidence that enables you to meet the things coming.

So, yes, I believe in angels, absolutely, I do.

I could not have made it this far had there not been angels along the way.

Each week, from a different point of view, you get another look at God, and that's exciting to me.

When you really believe in God, it gives you a courage, a confidence that enables you to meet the things coming.

I have the background singers of Ray Charles, the background singers of Smokey Robinson, and the background singers of Barry White and I built a choir around that.

Now I walk every where I can. I also ride a stationary bicycle for a total of 30 minutes. I do it three or more times a week now and I have lost 20 pounds.

My doctor explained that exercise and diet changes might help and that I also might need a medication.

The exercise I do now is a mammoth change for me because I never did any exercise ever.

We want to be a place where, and when there's no place else, you can turn us on and know that He's there, He cares, and He's going to do something about it.
