Many a things have changed in my life since We last saw you Brothers in Christ. By the way, that last time was in Good Ole Gatlinburg, TN...Yep, my sisters in Christ & I always Took us a sabatical away from all our fun, play & husbands back home😊 Nah, not really...but the husband Thang is true..lol Ok..Anywho, We're in Gatlinburg, and planned our "Sabatical" around the same time that The Bishops were in Gatlinburg, too.. We ALWAYS kept track of where our Favorite Gospel Group would be performing. So sure nuff, We headed that way, and we couldn't wait til That Saturday Night to come hear yall sing praises to Our Great Lord.. I even saw you on the street earlier in the day, and I'd always ask, "Hey, Do you remember me (to which my "Sisters" always cracked up at, cause I asked you, Mark & your Dad All that same question EVERY TIME I SAW YALL IN CONCERT...Which btw Was A LOT) Ok...back to seeing yall Saturday night... Well, yall were "Singing" at The River Terrace Hotel - Convention Room, to a group of "MARRIED COUPLES", Yea...that's what I said... lol.. So, me & All 8 of My Sisters in The lord, walk right up to the front row of Empty Chairs, that looked like they had been reserved for us, I mean We did buy tickets & came all the way from Rome, Georgia to see you.. So we just assumed (yep) That those were RESERVED for us, so we had a seat.. Y'all were just starting to sing, and we were all so Thankful & excited to be there. Then you stand up, start telling the fine folks how yall sure did appreciate being asked to perform at their marriage retreat (Hand to God, that was the first Me (the pastors wife of all my sisters) and my sisters had heard of the "Marriage Retreat"...smh... They all looked at me, and I looked at them, and our faces turned red, and just as we were looking up, Here yall go busting into "Jezebel", Well Son, Me & the Sisters cracked up, and Just as yall ed started to sing YALL CRACKED UP TOO... But, yall pulled yourselves together, and we did too.. & Turns out that God Blessed Us All Real Good that night. I Don't quite know when or why yall aren't the Gospel Singing "The Bishops" Anymore, but I'm sure that Our Heavenly Father knows all about it.. I still Love & Listen to yall Singing when My Heart Needs A Blessing. WORKS EVERY TIME☺.. I know this story was long, but I just had to REMIND YOU, and ask you One last time, "Hey kenny, Do you Remember Me?" God Bless You, My Brother In Christ..TweetinGrandmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10099698488039205873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7538142585721005905.post-17526714683348417022014-06-14T14:28:47.745-04:002014-06-14T14:28:47.745-04:00A delightful post.

My own belief is that he's possibly become sort of a cult figure for a minority of people. In a big way, he's frozen in time (1950's???). Bottom line is JS DOES NOT speak for me. He has not authority over me at all. I don't answer to him so I choose to listen to the music I enjoy PERIOD!!!

But I have found along the way that some "professed christians" want to cherry pick who goes to Heaven. I have to say the GOD that I know isn't like that. But they have shunned me for my life and seem to have no mercy or forgiveness in thier hearts. I have been hurt many many times by "followers of Christ". I am now in my 30's and tend to shy away from one on one contact with "Christians". I keep a good comfortable distance...on my computer. I miss those spirit filled services where an Angel of God would come down and in a sense trouble the waters. Keep up the good work...there is a lot of sorrow and pain in this world. God's love is there to comfort us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7538142585721005905.post-70303012988692731452009-06-28T23:01:53.189-04:002009-06-28T23:01:53.189-04:00I'm so grateful to come across someone like yo...I'm so grateful to come across someone like you.

I don't watch AI myself regularly but did watch the night Adam did "RING OF FIRE" & being a dyed-in-the-wool Johnny Cash fan I didn't care for it. Also, to be honest his appearance turned me off. I don't care about his sexual orientation but I can't get past his appearance. I wish him the best, however.Elaine Harcourtnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7538142585721005905.post-77970306366497778572009-05-16T10:18:00.000-04:002009-05-16T10:18:00.000-04:00Insert my applause here.

Sadly, for me, there are times when stating that I am a Christian (to non-believers) is equivolent to announcing that I am the judge & jury. I feel as if this 'group' of people that I have circled myself with since day 1 can often sit on the side of the fence that screams the condemning, critical, abrasive words that in our own minds are synonomous with the 'world,' yet in reality the fence is a mirror, and the words only describe the believers. I couldn't agree with you more on the talent that Adam has, and he deserves the AI title. Perhaps the critics & condemners of his lifestlye should take a quick peek into the image they are offering, which in its most true form is definitive of anti-Christianity. Certainly, this is NOT who Jesus prompted us to be.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7538142585721005905.post-49529980781763101842009-04-21T07:02:00.000-04:002009-04-21T07:02:00.000-04:00Just goes to prove that a woman doesn't have to be...Just goes to prove that a woman doesn't have to be beautiful, wear make-up, wear the best clothes or be slim to have a beautiful voice. Just as we are supposed to look at a person's heart rather than her looks, we should also listen to a person's voice rather than go by her looks. Those who are only concerned with outward appearances, make a lot of false assumptions.
