The Archers
Tim Archer, one of the founding members of The Archers, one of America's earliest Contemporary Christian music groups, shared memories of his mom with me and talked about how she impacted his life. Tim also shared the other 3 women in his life, his wife Cynthia and his daughters Ashely and Madi.

Tim said, "My mother’s precious spirit is still with me through the tremendous impact she had on my life. She was the mothers mother. She was always there to love on you, encourage you, always feed you and share a needed word from the Lord. She loved to laugh and she loved to hear her Tim sing her favorite old gospel songs. I miss her, my children miss her and anyone who ever met mom Archer will never forget her. She was an angel from God, most assuredly."

Speaking of his other 3 ladies, Tim said, "Most of the major road touring came before my first daughter Ashley was born. She has had a chance to enjoy much of her dad’s success and what is now her heritage. She loves God, worship music and is such a gifted singer/songwriter and is beautiful. My little seven year old Madi Archer is my little blonde, blue eyed gift and bundle of life and joy. She is a powerful spirit and I believe will touch the world. She loves that her dad is, in her words, famous. She takes my GRAMMY Award to school for show and tell and loves to sing, dance, laugh, and put on shows for me and her precious mom, Cynthia. She’s also been very positively effected by my music and ministry career."

In closing he added, "My mother got to experience a lot of it and loved to be the mother of “The Archers."
