I have been struggling with how to write this post for well over
a week. I wasn’t sure that I wanted to write about this, but the longer I put
it off, the more I felt convicted that I needed to share. I even spoke to my
pastor about what I was contemplating writing about and I asked for his
permission to quote from his series that he just finished. He told me to go for
it, that he trusted me.
I am going to look at
the past again; however, there is a purpose to it. This isn’t just a nostalgic
stroll through my memories. This one is serious, so if you are looking for a
happy trip down memory lane, then you might want to change the channel today.
Please come back another day. However, if you have an open heart and mind, then
I want to share with you what is on my mind.
About a week ago, I was listening to Pandora Radio. (For those
of you that don’t know, this is a program that you can download onto your
computer or device of choice. You get to pick the music. If all you want to
listen to is Irish Folk music, then that is what you will be listening to).
Well, I was listening to a category that I had set up that played folk music of
the 60’s. A song started playing-If I Had A Hammer, sung by Peter,Paul and Mary. I have a feeling that some of you have no idea who this
group is or what they did. You may even know that they were a folk trio from a
long time ago. Others of you know
exactly who I am talking about.
