But the Gospel Music Association also remembered several previously unsung heroes during the ceremony, which was broadcasted live, in part, from the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville. Click to continue.

One Sunday I was teaching my Junior Church kids, ages 7 through 12, the story of Abraham pleading with the Lord not to destroy Sodom and the righteous people living there. I explained how Abraham started by asking that the city be spared if there were 50 righteous folks there, then 45, then 30, then 20.
I continued, "Finally, Abraham asked that Sodom be spared if there were only ten who loved the Lord there. And what do you think God said?"
When I paused for their answer, one little boy raised his hand and said, "I think God said, 'Don't push your luck!'"
