Bryson City's motto:
Unspoiled  Unhurried  Uncrowded  Uncommon

We have included the picture to show you where the name, HeavensEdge Communications came from.
Here, in the mountains we are blessed to see beautiful scenery like this every day,
and we believe that we really do live at the Edge of Heaven!
You are cordially invited to visit the Great Smoky Mountains to experience
our part of God's magnificent creation for yourself.

    HeavensEdge began as a fund raising effort to benefit Camp Living Water Ministries, a small non-profit Christian organization located in the Heart of the Great Smoky Mountains of Bryson City, North Carolina, the hometown of The Inspirations.

    Our first attempt at using computer technologies was to publish an Inspirations picture history book to mark the 30th Anniversary of the group which was distributed to guests attending the Singing in the Smokies that year (until we ran out, that is). Several more books have been created over the years, and because of contributions from folks who appreciated the effort, many children have been given the chance to go to camp who could not have gone any other way.

    In 1947, Dr. Herbert Brown, a dedicated mountain preacher, started Southern Bible Testimony, the parent organization of Camp Living Water; and shortly afterwards the camp was begun.

    Dr. Brown believed that the best way he could carry out the great commission was to reach and teach the local mountain children, regardless of their social standing, what a new life, fully dedicated to Christ could mean. I was one of those kids! Along with many others, we are trying to carry his vision forward.

 1998 was a time of personal healing and refreshing.
To all of you who remembered us in your prayers, THANK YOU!

    1998 was also when I was introduced to the Internet. While I hadn't really been interested before, I quickly discovered that this new technology provides a novel and effective way to communicate with the whole world, especially with Southern Gospel Music fans such as myself. Realizing the possibilities, HeavensEdge Communications launched www.theinspirations.com on June 15, 1998, and we continue to proudly present the Inspirations website for your enjoyment.

    Special thanks to Harold Timmons and everyone else who has been a SGM pioneer in this new way to get the message out about our wonderful Southern Gospel Music.

We sincerely hope you enjoy visiting!
