How are ya? I agree the more generations it hits the more it may reach people. Personally, I never could get into heavy metal, new country, or rap but they all have been used to get to other generations.

I am doing well here in hot Texas. I hope all is well with you and family. I have never been able to get into Rap either, but I do like some heavy metal and the older country and some of the new country as well. With the new generation, you have to use some of the tools that inspire them and will get them to react in a positive way and want to listen, open up and give their lives to Christ. I grew up listening to the Old Rugged Cross, Amazing Grace, Go Tell it on the Mountain, etc., Times have truly changed.
