A couple of admissions...
1. I like award shows.
2. I grew up on Contemporary Christian Music.

2. I grew up on Contemporary Christian Music.
Now, you can say what you want contemporary Christian music or the music industry in general as it relates to faith....but when I was 13-years old, I wanted to be a CCM star.
And while I will NOT admit exactly how long I nursed ambitions to be at the top of the CHR charts, I will admit that I loved...
Yes, I loved the Dove Awards.
While other kids were listening to secular radio and watching MTV while their parents were out of the house, I was waiting on the Dove Awards.
And I thought it was over...I thought I was done. I thought I was better.
Then, two days ago, a new channel pops up on our TV, thanks to the fine folks at DISHnetwork: THE GOSPEL MUSIC CHANNEL.
And guess what they're showing live on April 23rd?
I can't promise I'll be okay...I can't promise that I won't spend two hours glued to the TV on that night...and I can't promise that I won't rush out and buy the trendiest clothes I can find and start choreographing my stage show...
Pray for me, saints.
