Gleason Is Famous!!!
Joseph Gleason, the Super Administrator and creator of the Reformation Superhighway and the Bible
Lighthouse is very famous! Not only does he administrate these two websites, he also completely oversees the Covenant Theology
department on Monergism.com.
Joseph is a song writer and has songs on several CDs, most of which are produced by the Legacy Quartet. But that wouldn't be a big
surprise to you if you knew that Joseph's father is the famous "Whitey Gleason". Whitey is world-renowned as Mr. Piano and spent many
years playing for the Blackwood Brothers and then for the Jubilee Quartet. Whitey still writes songs, but many of
his older songs can still be heard on gospel radio, seen in church hymnals, and are being remade by some more contemporary artists.
I just thought you'd like to know with whom you're rubbing shoulders.

Jeremy:
 You're goofy . . . If I'm famous, then how come nobody's
asking for my autograph or sending me large sums of money? Of course, if you'd like to volunteer, I would hate to turn you down . . .
Trevor:
You're not kidding! Your little quote from 1 Corinthians 1:26-31 hits close to home . . . I'm writing a paper for seminary right now, in which that
very passage plays an important part. . . . I'd certainly rather be saved than famous!!! Thank God that He chose to regenerate me!!! Heaven is
infinitely better than Hollywood.

Hey, Joseph, I thought your cousin was going to tell us you're related to Jackie Gleason. 
Switch seminary are you attending, Joseph. You may have already told us, but I missed it if you did.

I wrote tracks #1 and #10 on this CD:
http://www.legacyquartet.com/OneGoodReason.html
Track #1, "One Good Reason", is more on the country side.
Track #10, "Grace for Me", is more on the hymn side, including some close harmony for the singers.
Here's a more recent song I wrote, concerning the Lord's Supper: http://www.biblelighthouse.com/rhyme/BodyofChrist.htm
I have a "beta copy" MP3 of that song I can send you if you want to hear it.
