What impresses me about my children is their sense of wonder at the world around them. I thought it was a sign of being cool to just take things in my stride and be rather nonplussed at this or that. Yet my children remind me that this is a disrespect at what god has provided […]
Read More DMCD Song – The Wonder Of It All: Gaither GatheringI was minding my own business. Honest. I wasn’t going to bother anyone about anything. My wife and first born daughter were not feeling well at all, I was on hand to serve them in as much as I could, as well as look after the two younger daughters. I was minding my own business […]
Read More Propulsion to Mission – There Were Ninety and NineTrue story. Before July if you had talked about Ronnie Milsap I would have given you the blank look of a man who had absolutely no idea who you were talking about. You could have been talking about Bertrand Greengage* for all I cared. This changed after I came across a Gaither video and who […]
Read More DMCD Songs: What A Difference You’ve Made In My Life – Ronnie Milsap and Gordon MoteThis post brings to a conclusion a mini-series I’ve done since last night on different versions of this one song. I’ve been through the beginning with the version I’m most used to. Then I posted an entry with a life-changing encounter with a version that got me thinking seriously about the lyrical content. All the […]
Read More Love So Amazing, So Divine …Fascinating singer who has been a part of my music history from early childhood. I only learnt he was connected to the Gaithers in the last few years. This is a signature tune of his in my humble estimation. I love it for the centrepiece. For His Name’s Sake Shalom dmcd
Read More Amen – Larnelle HarrisI’ll just let the video do all the talking on this one. Other than to say it is shocking that I’ve left it so long to post this awesome song and the brilliant way in which Phipps gives the background on it. For His Name’s Song Shalom dmcd
Read More Amazing Grace – Wintley PhippsSo here’s the irony. I’m not a fan of Christian television – more on that in a future blog … possibly. Yet I cannot deny that occasionally there is the programme that would intrigue me. So one that I definitely enjoy watching is the Gaither Homecoming Hour. Well as you can imagine I was pleased […]
Read More He Will Carry You – Lynda RandleMusic of encouragement to the saints and anticipation of the arrival of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ can be expressed in different ways. Some people are used to hearing it in ways that might evoke great clamour and excitement. Some might prefer the subtle and understated approach. Either way, these songs and their […]
Read More We Shall Behold Him – Sandy PattyApparently bigger is better and if you can get more people on your side, that’s all great. No one is interested in a book that has a small readership. No one wants to watch a programme with a few viewers. No one is putting themselves out for something with low attendance. That’s why I understand […]
Read More A Few Good MenApparently according to the calendars of some this is a day to celebrate romantic love and express that with the appropriate sentiments shared with that special significant other. I never bought into the day myself for two reasons. I come from a background that says basically if it’s not in the Word, then there’s no […]
