And then the visa thing. Have heard quite a number of supposed 'men of God', even in the more established pentecostal churches boasting how they prayed for someone who was granted a US/UK visa - lets forget for an instance that some of the documents and claims submitted are far from pius. Even here pastors keep praying every Sunday for the immigration authorities to be blinded so they can approve permanent stays for members despite the false claims the members submit to the authorities. And don't get me started on the consistent and persistent association of our villages and our poor parents and relations who live there with all that is evil. Almost walked out of the church yesterday on that account. Like you I have very little time for any Gospel music that does not have some originality or obeys copyright laws. But I have to grin and bear cos, like you, I am the odd one out in the house.The Dragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02507400173039806923noreply@blogger.com
