Around the world, people are pausing to remember where they were the first time Randy Travis’s voice cut through a radio speaker and settled into their lives. That same voice, once nearly silenced by a massive stroke, became proof that miracles can look like slow steps, halting words, and songs sung with tears in the corners of the eyes.
