King of The Mountain Winner Week 1

Today was week one of King of the Mountain. The two songs that competed for your votes were: Sharon Kay King's, "You Never Gave Up On Me" and the Whisnants', "A Greater Yes". The winner this week by only three votes is Sharon Kay King and "You Never Gave Up On Me".

Sharon Kay King's latest project is entitled, "The Road I know". Sharon was saved in 1987 and completely set free and delivered from over 13 years of drug and alcohol addiction. Her desire to "do something for the Lord" led her to begin singing in the church choir.

Sharon attempted to play the guitar but soon became discouraged at her inability to play to a level that she desired. She laid the guitar down for two years. One day as she was passing the closet where the guitar was stored she heard that still , small voice telling her to "pick it back up". She turned to see who had said this but saw no one but again heard, "pick it back up". So she picked up the guitar and to her surprise began to play music.

Sharon Kay King has a music ministry that touches many lives each year. Her strong personal testimony of God's saving grace has touched the hearts of many people. You can find out more about Sharon Kay King at www.songsofsharon.com

Sharon Kay King's song, "You Never Gave Up On Me" is crowned the reining "Queen of the Mountain" and will be challenged next week at 7:20 am by a new song to determine if she will remain the Queen of the Hill.

Favorite Southern Gospel Song of All Time

What is Your Favorite Southern Gospel Song of All Time?

I was checking my email and someone had asked what the top three songs of last year were. I stared at the computer with all of the different song titles and wondered what I would consider the best songs of all time. After careful thought I would have to say that my top three favorite Southern Gospel Songs are:

1.) Gold City, "Midnight Cry". There is just something about Ivan Parker's voice on this song that brings it home.

2.) Crabb Family, "That Ain't No Mountain". This song just encourages me each and every time that I hear it.

3.) JD Sumner and the Stamps, "You've Got To Walk That Lonesome Road". Just a personal favorite. I dream of singing that low. Ha!

Honorable mentions (read: he can't really narrow it down to three)
a) Florida Boys, "When He Was on The Cross". A song that never goes out of style.

b)McKameys, "God on the Mountain". One of my favorite sing-along-to songs. Yeah - I do a pretty good Peg McKamey . Hahaha...

c) Dove Brothers, "Didn't It Rain". So fun.

d) The Rambos, "I Go To The Rock". This song sounds good even when I sing it!

e) Jimmy Swaggert, "Never Been This Homesick Before". Great piano, great vocals, great song. Probably the most requested song last year.

There you have it. My top songs. Let me know what yours are. Perhaps I'll do a Memorial Day countdown of the top 20 Southern Gospel Songs of all Time.

Exciting Episode of 24

It Looks Like Jack is Back

I don't watch a lot of TV. Mainly football and an occassional movie. One exception is the TV show, "24". I've been waiting since May for this series to resume and it hasn't disappointed. If you have never watched the show it is like a high powered, action packed, realistic version of James Bond but oh so much better.

If you are familiar with the show....I can't believe that Curtis is gone! That's one thing about this show - they don't hesitate to get rid of characters. I liked Curtis, he was a good man. I'm not sure about this President. He's a little wishy-washy.

This show is so intense it is only a matter of time until the media hype it as helping to raise tensions against people of a certian background. I hope it doesn't come to that.

My six year old daughter was in the room when Jack was doubting if he could continue. I lamented out loud, "You can't quit Jack" and my daughter asked, "If he quits, will it be 23?". Oh, from the mouths of babes......

Crabb Family Concert

Wow! What a night. The Crabb Family showed why they are the best Gospel group on the road right now. They packed the house at the Hyndman Ministry Center last night. The show started at 7:00 and ended about 10:30. The Crabb family took time to minister to everyone that came forward. They really showed that they have a heart for ministry even moreso than for music if that's possible.

I still think that Jason looks like a young Paul McCartney with the beard. I got a chuckle out of Adam Crabbs little 9 month old son playing in a large cardboard box while his mom worked the product table. Kids are funny.

I'm looking forward to seeing the Crabb family come back through the are next month at the Central Assembly of God Church in Cumberland. I'll keep you informed.
