When my kids were young I took them to all the SG concerts I went to. One night my sister and her two kids, my mother, my two kids and I drove about 100 miles to see the Kingsmen and Cathedrals. On the way home we hit a deer. Through a string of miraculous events we had a tow truck tow the car all the way home. My mother and I rode in the cab of the truck, the rest had to stay in the car. About half way home I asked the driver to stop and see how the kids were doing. He came back to the truck and said "They are fine. They are playing "name that tune" with Jesus songs." I thought how wonderful that at such a young age the kids are learning that SG music can be a source of comfort and joy.

It is so hard not to hear the secular songs, I will be a Senior in High School, and let me tell you that is all I hear. I always ignore what I hear, because my heart belongs to God, and I want nothing to do with that part of music. Southern Gospel music is my kind of music. I thank God that my parents raised me around the Gaither Homecoming Videos, and different groups through the radio and tv...without them, my love for Southern Gospel music would have never happened. I have a little cousin who is 7 months old, and loves anything to do with music..he lights up! My grandma has a ton of Gaither Homecoming videos, and she plays them and he is literally glued to that tv screen when the music starts. Grandma and I have both decided that we are going to start now, at the young age of 7 months instilling God's music in him, so that he too, will love Southern Gospel, and turn a deaf ear to the secular world. It can change peoples lives!
