Love these so much and I’ve been watching them since the terrible events of Friday. Amber was a good friend and it is one of my big regrets that I never got her to do Sam in person because that would’ve been epic! As sad as we all are, this gives us something to smile about and remember. I’ve often wondered by the way if Sam is still around.
Seriously? This is what "Gospel" music has come down to? Earning awards, and saying stuff like, concerning Mr. Crouch:"Heaven just got a little funkier"?!? Really?!?!?!?!?!? This is yet another reason why I'm slowing down,bon my Southern Gospel Music intake. It's totally ludicrous, when we feel like we have to give praise to people, that took Worldly Funk Music, and mixed it with Gospel Music. This is totally pathetic!!!!!!!!!!
I love you all so much especially the easter brother I hope to meet you all I know I won't get to meet the easter brother I Miss James and I listen to you all the time
