    Another outstanding edition! Thank you! Oh, thank you!

  • Mandy

    That was AWESOME! Right up there with “Shout” (which almost made me wet myself, by the way). Great job to all the singers!

    I was listening to Hold Fast a few minutes ago. That song stirs emotions of longing to be in the presence of Jesus. It also promotes and expectancy, a certain watching for our Lord.

    We may be a demanding bunch when it comes to the CTGB’s, but it’s only because each time is even more fun & awesome than the last!
    Loved how Jim, Nathan, & Robbie “hid” in the back. And Mike, you had some pretty good moves while playing the guitar!
    The kids were awesome. How much fun it must have been “rehearsing”!
    Thanks, guys, for the pick-me-up. I really needed it. :)

    Jose really seemed to enjoy himself during the song. Was he playing with a yo-yo? Thanks for sharing a piece of your DR trip with us. Good times!

    That was awesome. Looks like the whole crew had a blast. I would say a joy for all involved. Way to go guys. You did well!!! It is great to see you making it fun for all.

    On another note, I just have to tell you that I Can Only Imagine is still moving hearts. We sang it in church yesterday and the alter was filled. God can use that song to move in amazing ways. I could write a book about what I have seen while that song was being sung. What a major blessing.
