		<description>I&#039;m sorry I had to miss your performance downtown Rick.  I&#039;m sure it was a great time.  Wow - what a band you&#039;ve put together there.  Top notch.

As I&#039;ve said to you in years past, I think all too often Christian music sounds a bit forced and unnatural.  Almost as if the artist feels pressured to write music where every line of every song has at least 2 hallelujah’s and an amen, forgetting that it needs to be good music as well.  Isn’t it still Christian music even if we only mention God once or twice during the song, remembering that it has to be good music first?

Your album is, in my opinion what Christian music should be; uplifting, inspiring, and enjoyable.  Even if a specific song is not a “Christian” song per se, it is written in the sprit of Christianity and your spirituality is felt.

Thank you for this album.  It’s a true pleasure listening to it.  It’s inspiring and enjoyable at once.

Take care Rick and tell everyone I said hello.
