It's Time to Vote!

Yes, it is time to vote this week. Not only will many people be selecting a Presidential candidate, but we will also be selecting the TOP TEN Catholic Songs of Lent (2008). The second reading for Ash Wednesday from the second letter of Paul to the Corinthians says "Now is the favorable time; this is the day of our salvation." Lent is just around the corner and now at this favorable time we can minister to our fellow Catholics who are hungering and thirsting for spiritual nourishment. Cathoic music has much to offer those who are seeking to walk closer with the Lord during this Lenten season.

My friends at Top Catholic Songs have selected 19 songs to be considered for the Top Ten Songs of Lent. All that is left to do is to join the yahoo group (send an email to: topcatholicsongs-subscribe@yahoogroups.com) then VOTE for your favorite songs. Please take the time to join and vote. It will mean alot to the artists who have nominated songs. It will encourage them to keep producing quality music that ministers to your spiritual needs. It will also mean alot to other Catholics many of whom are not even aware of these rich musical resources. It will help to build up the kingdom as we work together to raise the profile and awareness of Catholic Music.

To be upfront and honest, I do have a horse in this race. I have two songs nominated "If Today" and "Turn My Heart." Both of these can be heard here (www.myspace.com/georgelowermusic). I hope that you enjoy my music; but, more importantnly please vote your heart. This is only the beginning of something that is much bigger than my personal successes or failures. May God be with you during this Lenten season.

Top Catholic Songs will be posting the winning songs next week. Voting is open until Friday, February 8, 2008.
