Are you a veteran of the military (in any country)? Imagine being sent into the middle of Iraq several times fighting an enemy, while also among those who were supposed to be on the same team, but were enemies in disguise, also trying to kill you. Not only did he survive that, but also was blessed by God to not be in places where people were killed just after he left or just after they left. With so many close calls and situations there is no wonder he is grateful to be alive today with a tremendous story to tell.
Timothy Robinson aka Robbie served in the U.S. Military for more than 20 years and retired. He is a Baltimore native and has been playing musical instruments since he was a child. He has played the keyboard for the Winans (Marvin, Michael, Ronald and Carvin) and has even had some "jam sessions" with John P. Kee and others to name a few. After moving to South Carolina as a teenager, through his mom's pursuit of ministry relationships, he was introduced to the Lakin family and also became friends with the Lakin's children John, David and Shelia (who went on to become one of the lead singers for John P. Kee).
When Tim starts going into childhood memories it becomes emotional at times when great memories are told, and the reason for this depth of emotion is because Tim is Norman's uncle and they practically grew up as brothers with only a few years' difference in their ages. Tim reveals things never shared before this interview about his life that will help many to face their past memories that they seldom speak on.
