Gospel Delights

I thought I would write more in this blog, but I'm spending so much time on my Japanese blog. It's a lot more interesting. :P And I like yahoo better than blogger anyway.

Yeah, anyway. Today after church I went to a charity event for the tsunami visit. By the way, why don't tsunamis have names like hurricanes and typhoons? They're not as common as earthquakes or floods, so they should. :P Okay, let's call it Tsunami Shasta.

At this Tsunami Shasta charity event, one of the performance was a gospel choir. Of course made up of Japanese. It reminded me of when I was in a gospel choir at U of O (Except the pronunciation of "This Rittow Right of Mine"). Of course they were singing Christian songs (I wouldn't classify any of them as gospel songs, but....), but of course none of them really believed what they were singing about. I mean, there may have been a follower of Christ in there, but they don't go to my church. :-) This of course was the same at Oregon where only a handful of the members were Christians. I don't understand how they can get so into what their singing if they don't really mean it. When I hear someone shout hallelujah or praise the Lord and I know they're just putting on a show, it just sounds so fake and stupid and meaningless.

Also they tried to tie everything to Tsunami Shasta, detracting from any religious meaning. For example, "This Rittow Right of Mine," each person has a voice and when we come together it becomes real power or something like that. So each person has a light that they can spread to the world and help other people. Anyway, he was kinda vague.

PS. They were called the Gospel Delights
