Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
https://klty.com/music/christian-artist-mandisa-passes-away GRAMMY®-winning Christian music artist Mandisa Lynn Hundley (October 2, 1976 – April 18, 2024) known professionally as Mandisa, passed away at her home in Nashville, Tennessee on April 18.
While her career began as a contestant on American Idol (5th season), the Lord had bigger plans for the talented singer, as she would go on to release #1 Christian Music songs and secure a GRAMMY Award for Best Contemporary Christian Music Album for Overcomer at the 56th Grammy Awards.
After finishing in the Top 10 on “Idol,” Mandisa released her debut album, “True Beauty,” in 2007. But it was her 2013 album, “Overcomer,” that catapulted the vocalist into the mainstream spotlight; earning Mandisa performances on “Good Morning America”, TBN, and other media outlets.
During this season, Mandisa rose to the top of the Christian Music format, releasing #1 hits like “Stronger,” “Good Morning (feat. TobyMac)” and “My Deliverer.”
Mandisa candidly went public with her overwhelming struggles with depression in her book, “Out of the Dark: My Journey Through the Shadows to Find God’s Joy.”
Please pray for Mandisa’s friends, family, and the Christian Music industry as a whole, as this has shocked and saddened many at the news of this loss.
This breaks my heart 🥲
