Here in Texas, we have several Christian TV Channels and very often you can watch and listen to Bill & Gloria Gaither and their "family" of singers. In the photo, that is Bill Gather waving his hand and to the right of him is Mark Lowry.

In our church congregation and in choir, we have often sung songs written by Bill & Gloria and my favorite is probably Because He Lives which is especially appropriate at Easter. (Bill wrote this song after the birth of his son.)

The Gaithers are based in Indiana where their studios are located but they travel extensively giving concerts. Their concert tapes are not only available on TV but can be purchased online or at Christian bookstores.

One person associated with the Gaithers is Christian singer/songwriter/comedian Mark Lowry. On a tape we were watching tonight, he talked about summer camp in Nacogdoches, just up the road from us - the Oldest Town in Texas. I see that Mark was born in Houston but more importantly, I learned from his website that he has ADD - Attention Deficit Disorder.

Ty Pennington of Extreme Makeover Home Edition on ABC also has ADHD. Both these people are very cognizant of how hard it is for young people with ADD to focus and to learn.

So, not only are these people entertaining us, they are reaching out to educate and assist others.

Particularly on Saturday evenings, we like to listen to Bill & Gloria Gather's Homecoming as it is so calming and relaxing! Sunday evenings, we watch Ty Pennington and his Design Team build a new home in seven days for a special family.

These are programs that are interesting and fun to watch! So, why would you have CNN or any non-stop news channel going to make you miserable these days?
