The 2008 Dove Awards
Aside from Mr. Mac--whose album also won the Doves' rock/contemporary album award--last night's show offered up some pretty darn solid rock and pop material in general. Mark Hall, who leads up Casting Crowns, collected four awards as a solo entity and three as part of his band. Chris Tomlin, who was the undisputed heavyweight winner last year, still managed to add his third male vocalist win to his belt. Natalie Grant also won her third award for female vocalist.
The show was at the historic Grand Ole Opry stage, and in a nod to this Nashville landmark, country queen Wynnona performed a duet with Grant as part of the evening's entertainment. Additionally, Charlie Daniels closed the show with an energetic performance of "I'll Fly Away."
Wynonna also took time to pose with best new artist Brandon Heath:
In a nod to pop culture in general, three American Idol alumni--Phil Stacey, Chris Sligh, and Mandisa--performed with Christian's legendary Amy Grant in a tribute to another legend, Michael W. Smith. No snores here!
God Bless All of You for standing on Your Faith, Carrying His Message, and Your Labor of Love!
Have a Wonderful Day! God Bless You!
Love Always,
Cathey
But why would you call him legendary, isn't that kind of idyllic and doesn't god frown upon that kind of thinking.
Just a thought.
Jesus is THE way
I have a changing and uplifting idea that
worked for me. I set my alarm clock to music now after accidentally setting it there while I was trying to push snooze one morning ( I switched regular alarm to music),
so that when I woke up air1 would be playing.
Since then I wake up and God speaks through
the music and I have something to be thankful
for everyday. It leads me where I need to be and that is in Gods' courts. It helps God be shown as alive
as He is and not even ourselves get in the
way, suicide is destroyed in the presence of
The God of the Holy Bible. God bless you All
and may His heart be your only Abode. Amen.
