I really. really love Gospel music. It gets me through day. I start my day with it and end my day with it. I can't go with out it. To all the Gospel artist out there you know just what to sing. God Bless you all. One question. When will the Stellar Awards be aired or will it be re-aired.
Love Gospel, it grounds me - Gotta get that Shari Addison CD. Somehow.
