Do you have to be in America to enter? I'm from the UK and am thinking of entering.
ReplyDeleteWe have seen all of the United Bates episodes.
ReplyDeleteYes!
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting this giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI have seen United Bates of America episodes on this blog, I've watched all the 19 Kids and Counting episodes that are on Netflix, but they don't update very often.
Sounds interesting!
ReplyDeleteNo.
ReplyDeleteYes, I have seen there episodes
ReplyDeleteI grew up on and enjoy bluegrass gospel music. I also love watching the Duggars and Bates families as the children grow up. Thank you for the chance to win a CD!
ReplyDeletei have only seen clips of the show, but it looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteI love his music! Sounds great!
ReplyDeleteYes, I watched the "The United Bates of America" :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVED the two episodes I could find of the Bates' show....Love them just as much as I do the Duggars! especially the married couples. :) Their "I Love You Day" is possibly my favorite tv show episode ever. The family has so much love, for God, for each other, and for others.... love them all so much....! <3
ReplyDeleteHe is a very talent young man.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the awesome giveaway ! I own all of the United Bates of America episodes : )
ReplyDeleteYes, I've watched them all.
ReplyDeleteYes
ReplyDeleteGod has given Lawson a wonderful gift. I'd love to win his cd.
ReplyDeleteI've seen 2 or 3 episodes. I wish they were still doing their show.
ReplyDeleteI've seen all episodes!
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen them all but working on it
ReplyDeleteI've only seen two episodes.
ReplyDeleteYes, I have! Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteMaybe Lawson will start courting one of the Duggar girls. Like Jinger or Jana. That would be so cool!
ReplyDeleteI watched all the Bates videos that were posted on the Duggar site. Wish there were more.
ReplyDeleteIt was sure nice to see United Bates of America, i wish the show would have lasted.TLC timed it all wrong, it should have been on the off season of the Duggars not following the show. It was probably too much for some viewers to have back to back similar families.I just noticed a vast difference between JimB and Gil....for instance when a baby needs changing in the Bates family the girls bring the baby to Gil to change the diapers, and when a baby in the Duggars family needs changing JimBob gives the baby to one of the girls.Gill is alittle more hands on in that department.They both are superb fathers in their own special way.I am so envious:-):-):-):-) These families make me so happy and have been such a positive influence in my families life.I truly love them all.:-):-)
ReplyDeleteWow! This is an amazing giveaway! Lawson is very talented! It is so wonderful to see him using his gifts for The Lord! :)
ReplyDeleteThe Bates seem like a wonderful family who really love God!
ReplyDeleteI've seen a few episodes of United Bates of America....I really enjoyed it!
ReplyDeleteI really love how Lawson is really out and about, he travels alot.Those Bates kids are really social and into social media alot.:-)

ReplyDeleteNo, but I appreciate Lawson's dedication to his music and Gods glory!

ReplyDeleteI'd love to hear more of this music! Sounds like a great CD!
ReplyDeleteNo I don't believe I've seen United Bates of America. But I've always enjoyed the Bates family blog and hearing them speak! Their testimony of living wholeheartedly for Jesus is a real encouragement!!
ReplyDeleteHaven't seen United Bates, but have heard them speak live!! What a blessing and inspiration they are!
ReplyDeleteI may have watched a few of the United Bates episodes....not sure. But I've definitely enjoyed hearing them speak, live and on video!! And Erin's hymn arrangements on piano are just fabulous!! As a pianist myself, I really enjoy hearing arrangement ideas that honor the Lord!
