Cynthia Clawson "Ain’t It The Gospel Truth"

Posted on Written by

With out a doubt  Cynthia Clawson is my favorite gospel singer and “Ain’t It The Gospel Truth” is my favorite of her songs!

The words are like this:

“Ain’t it The Gospel Truth that God still loves you!  and if you need more proof just look to Jesus and I believe you will see what perfect love can do ain’t it the gospel truth. 

Oh what a statement.

In the early 1980’s late 1970’s my growing up church youth puppet team had a puppet named "Betty" that sang to this song (Ain’t It The Gospel Truth).  The puppet was an African American puppet.  :)  (oh we didn’t know better)

It was so funny. It was as just about as close to "getting down" then youth (1977-1982) could do and get by with it in church.

Cynthia just re-released this entire Album “It Was His Love” recently.  This is one album that I know every word to every song.  As I listen to the words some 30 years later I realize how much ahead of her time Cynthia really was.

Listen and enjoy this song in this video below.  Cynthia wasn’t happy about how the song turned out so she made her backup singers and  the  accompanist do it over.  You get the song twice in this video.  I didn’t think the first one was bad at all, but then again,  I really enjoy the words Cynthia Clawson.

It’s hard to believe Cynthia is 61 (2009) years old.   Her words, melodies and legacy will always be special to me.

Henderson Citizens Police Academy Summer Class Forming Now

Posted on Written by

Just  call me Deputy Nibby . . .

policegrad One of the most exciting programs I participated in 2004 was  Henderson KY Police Department’s- Citizens Police academy.

It was a program that gave me up-close and personal information about the workings of the Henderson Police Department.  I gained upmost respect for Henderson Police and the job they have to do.

It made me a better citizen and at the same time gave me greater respect for any law enforcement officer.  (I have always had respect for them, but this gave me even more!)

As part of the program we visited the courthouse, the county jail, spent hours in the 911 Emergency Center,  rode alongside a officer for a entire shift and fired a service revolver.

My favorite part was spending time in the 911 center.

I would highly recommend to program to anyone in Henderson.

The Henderson Police Department has another Citizens Police Academy starting very soon!  The summer class is starting Tuesday night, June 2, 2009 from 6pm to 8pm weekly.

If you or know of someone that is interested you need to contact Wendy Sugg at 270.831.1295.   If you do not get into this class another class is scheduled for Fall of 2009.

When was your last encounter with a law enforcement Officer?
