A note from Mark
This album is dedicated in loving memory of Enetta Smith, my precious little Granny who passed away almost a year ago as I write these words. She bought me my first Korg keyboard many years ago when I started writing some of the songs on this album. I wrote the final track 'End of all Time' while sitting at a train station waiting to pick Granny up a few years ago. Granny lived an unselfish life of simple faith in Jesus and her words were few but her actions spoke volumes. She joins the great cloud of witnesses that have gone before us, they urge us to throw off the sinful selfishness of the world and its desires which will pass away, to instead run the race that God has set before us with joy and perseverance. Come soon, Lord Jesus.

Thankyou
To my wonderful wife and best friend Cindy for your unswerving support and encouragement to me, also for the photo shoot which ended up on the cover of this album. I love you forever and this album's title track 'Today' is a reflection of how much I treasure the gift you are to me.
Thanks to my two sons Matthew and Jarrad for your little words of encouragement along the way while recording these songs, and being my #1 fan club. I love you guys!
A big thanks to my rock solid friend and stringed instrument genius Eliot Vlatko for your uplifting contribution to some tracks on this album.
Finally, all Glory and Honor to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, for being the Reason I write songs in the first place.
