I subscribe to the newsletters of several dozen Southern Gospel groups, since you never know when one of them will have a particularly interesting story. Last week’s Thanksgiving update from the Browns–written by daughter Michaela (who was a Singing News top 5 Horizon Individual nominee this year)–had this news item:

This past week we had some time off and we all went and spent some time with friends… I went to Washington D.C. where a friend of mine is nanny and the day before I came home I thought we should do something adventures.. I came up with the bright idea of going Skydiving!!! I’ve always wanted to do it and it was all I ever thought it would be and more!! You should have seen mom and dads faces when I got home and popped in the DVD!!! Here is the link if you want to watch me jump out of an airplane!

I didn’t really have any other news to post today; most of the newsmakers in our genre took an extended weekend off from making news, and this is the most interesting thing I came across over the weekend. (NOTE: Do not watch the clip if you have a fear of heights!)

While I personally like the title (”Southern Gospel’s Positive Blog”) I posted yesterday, at least one blogger took personal offense, so I decided that I ought to take it down. Since I still wanted a subtitle that was more descriptive of this blog in particular–not one that could apply to any blog out there–I ended up choosing to go with one that is a hybrid of the old (which some like) and the new (which others like): “Beyond the Headlines: Positive Daily Commentary on Southern Gospel.”
