WHERE IS GOSPEL MUSIC HEADED?

They say music has no tribe or kindred, that music is cross cultural and i agree like so totally.look around you and see the way music from different cultures, kindred, tongues has broken the divide among people and fostered forms of unity and collaborations, even if for a short time.....
now if you know me(if you don't, don't blame yourself), you will have noticed i love gospel music.no other form of music gets to me more than that.......
my question is so simple, why is gospel music picking up other identities,because it is almost lost now in the fusion of other genres it has taken.well i can try to understand the reasons, but then the reasons do not support the loss of identity
one advantage though is,it has taught me to pay more attention to lyrics now...guess my head is sharper now......now thats a good thing ain't it?well maybe the only thing oh,and the fact that the gospel is being preached.....well... ok....but the videos and the music, and the dressing.....in gospel music now... well.... i guess i am not yet wise to the new ways of the "gospel"
see you on the other side"

HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS?

Gibberish... nonsense... bollocks...what ignominy...... was my first thought the first time i heard this phrase....i was like home is home.. the adage east or west home is best worked better for me....we talking years together without making it home and staying in a foreign land felt just that; foreign.
well now the story is different, was talking to michelle,(michelle who?, i hear you ask....well....) online yesterday and the conversation was something like this;
"how's home Alex.... "
"all good" i saw myself write
" must be great", she said, "after all home is where the heart is , right?"
" that's right", i said.
and it hit me.. that my heart really stayed back in a foreign land.....so it goes without saying that now am missing a foreign land even though i am home. just goes to show that it got to me more than i thought it was capable of.
guess i gotta train myself to re-love my country....God will help me...
see you on the other side...
