Singing the Gospel

Last night, Katie and I went to this amazing Gospel concert here at the Seminary, directed by M. Roger Holland III. We had a ton of fun. Gospel music has always opened up a lot of doors in my heart. I have always felt thankful and grateful to the palpable force and energy I exprience when I play music of any kind. Gospel music, I feel, is the closest I can come to expressing that thanks.

Anyhow, the plan is to have a gospel choir at the wedding. So far we have about 12 people, but the numbers will grow. Katie has written a few lyrics, and I'm hoping I get a chance, sometime today to sit down and start writing.

I've never written a piece in this style before, but after that concert last night, I'm oh so inspired. Hey, evidently, in the Gospel Music scene, there's a young compser named Detrick Haddon that everyone says is really talented.

May the power of the name guide me!
