GOOD JOB SoGospelsNEWS! I especially like the "Progressive Southern Gospel" categories. Our music is so diverse... it's great!
The only part I don't agree with (just my opinion).. I don't get the thing with CROSSWAY. I just don't see them as contenders in the areas they appear. Sorry. God Bless your work!

Very glad to see the McGruders were nominated for Country album. I think this is the best McGruders project EVER and Priscilla, in particular, has never sounded better. Congrats McGruders!!!

Congratulations to Karen Peck and New River on the nominations! You and your music bless so many people, in so many places. in so many ways, you could never begin to imagine. I love you I thank God for all of you, daily.

Congratulations to Scott Warren, webdesigner of 3 of the 5 websites which have been nominated. The websites of Karen Peck and New River, Jeff and Sheri Easter and The Nelons are beautiful and informative. I am very thankful that you are getting recognition for the job you have done using the talents God has given to you to help others spread the Gospel through Southern Gospel Music.

Congratulations to The Unthanks making such a wonderful 'place' as SoGospelNews.com. 'Thank You' is inadequate to express my gratitude for all you do for Southern Gospel Music and more importantly....for the spreading of the Gospel.
