Grateful for A Reconciliation

I am grateful for opportunities to seek forgiveness and reconciliation. This morning I met with an old friend who I needed to restore a friendship with. Over the past few years we have been separated by life and my own selfishness and just plain male stubbornness. We had a great conversation where there was forgiveness, understanding and brotherly love. God was in the details here too. This was necessary for me to begin a new chapter in life coming up soon. Blessed be the ties that bind. Now I have a old friendship with a new start and I am glad.

Country Music Chaos

I have an open mind but what I don’t get is Country music acts trying to be pop and rock artists too? I am a casual country fan who thinks the genre has lost its soul while trying to be all things to all fans. Now I’m not saying some of the new stuff is all bad. There seems to be an identity crisis. It makes you wonder why they can’t stick to their roots with the influence of Cash, Carter, Williams, Nelson, Parton and George Jones. It’s OK to be who you are as a person and in music.
