Sometimes in life you find yourself walking through a dark valley.  There are tears and prayers.  I've heard it said that when you're going through hell, keep going.  This album was written in a dark season of the soul while I was l looking with hope towards the other side of my situation.
Be encouraged.  Keep the end in mind.  There will be a harvest from those tears.  You'll make it to the other side.

One Of A Kind

Everyone seems angry in our world.  Tensions rise between races, political parties, generations, haves and have nots, and every other source of division.  In a world of extremes what we lose are the quiet voices in society; these are the voices of the common men and women.  Listen through the noise to the quiet voices.  Listen to their stories.  Walk a mile in their shoes.  In the end I believe we will find common ground with all humankind.  We are all created in the image of our creator; we are all broken; we are all longing for restored relationship with God and community whether we admit it or not. Allow Jesus to soften your heart and tune your ears to hear His voice, and the quiet voices that surround us each day.

Quiet Voices

Racism, classism, and other divisive viewpoints are generally not passed down through extreme measures.  More often negative views are communicated through seemingly subtle actions and comments.  Whether we like it or not, what we learn from past generations we often teach to the future generation. We can all benefit from allowing Jesus to search our hearts to find any views that contradict the love and equality He created humankind to live in.  The story of Billy and Betty Sue is one that embodies the story of many who developed negative views of other people based on their upbringing.  May we all rise about these backgrounds and work towards a future where our differences are celebrated and we see each other as equal in the eyes of God.
