Collin Raye Honors Granddaughter on New Album

I remember when his graddaughter was born, and I had no idea she had a serious disorder. So sad. Prayers to Collin and his family.

I lost my 5 year old son to an as yet undiagnosed neuro-degenerative disease. I admire Mr. Raye doing what he is doing to help his granddaughter. Like Mr.Raye, I strive daily to turn my son's tragedy into something positive by helping others like him.

On May 21, 2009, Congressman Carter proposed HR 2538: The Charles August 'CAL' Long Undiagnosed Diseases Registry Act of 2009 in honor of my son. If passed, this legislation would require the CDC to create a National Registry for Undiagnosed Medical Cases. The Registry would allow doctors and researchers to register their case(s) and seek out others like it, promoting communications amongst these doctors to hopefully solve some of these medical mysteries.

This Registry would help children like my son and Mr. Raye's granddaughter. If you want more information, feel free to email me at project_cal@att.net

For Dom and Natasha: Yes, we were all born with 'original sin', but there is also the issue of an 'age of accountability' where we pass into a stage where we now know the difference between right and wrong, good and evil. Children who die before they achieve this knowledge spend eternity in Heaven, and I believe the point here is that this child will probably never develop to the point of knowing the difference. Now as to whether Collin makes it himself is of course now purely his decision.

All of this biblical mumbo-jumbo, pearly gates and the ilk is completely nauseating complemented with people who have great difficulty spelling correctly and probably have posters of Britney Spears and Hannah Montana on their bedroom walls and think that Paris Hilton is the greatest thing since sliced bread. She isn't and doesn't have an iota of intelligence or talent.

Get a grip people, as well as a reality check. He's only a mediocre (at best) singer trying to get back into the limelight.

Collin,

This is my life everyday with my little boy and I can't wait to hear the song. God Blesses the one's that he know's can handle the situation's like your granddaugter and my son. My son, Caleb, wasn't supposed to live a year but will be 15 in Oct. May God Bless you and your granddaughter and just remember have the Faith and God will work out the rest. I hope to meet you and your granddaugter along with my son in Heaven some day.

peg.... i bet he never forgot that. we all make mistakes. i reaped what i sow once. i ran my mouth about something and then when i got a child of my own i went through the very same thing that i ran my mouth about and said i wouldn't put up with it. it was like god was saying to me you won't huh? god sure does have a sense of humour. I'm glad god cared enough about me to give me that kind of lesson. i would rather be corrected here on earth by god in love then judged by him later with the world . God bless you all

Sorry Colin, but we were all born with original sin. No one is "perfect and clean." We are all dirty from the point we take our first breath, until God takes us from this earth, where we will face judgment. We *all* need to be forgiven of our sins, EVEN YOU. There will be no mercy for you after you die if you haven't asked God to forgive you of your sins. I am not apologizing for writing this, EVERYONE needs to know it. Now matter what you have done, God will forgive you if you ask because of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross where he shed his blood. I don't judge anyone, I just tell the truth so your blood is not on my hands.

God Bless this man for recognizing what a wonderful gift God has given him in this grandchild. EVERYTHING happens for a reason. We all have special needs-its just that some of us have more trouble admitting our own.

I agree, there is no way god would punish a child to get back at a grand-parent. Some people are just ignorant,and have no idea what some hurtful words can do do to others, My prayers are with that little girl.

My husband served in NAM. He died after 25 yrs. ofmarriage, after double above the knee amputation,14 yrs ago. 4 yrs. ago, our only son crossed 3 days before Katrina. My way of looking at it is this; God loves me so much He put their spirits in my life. What a love Jesus has for us to know, we will be with them someday....forever.AMEN
