You will notice a few songs have been deleted and some that have been added. They are by design a reflection of what is going on in my life right now. Deleting a few songs, I found a release that I've needed. Those songs reminded me of the sadness I've felt for my Uncle Kim and the loss of my Grandpa. I still feel the sadness, but I know they are in a far better place where pain does not creep in to steal away their joy.
The new songs are an outlook of better things on the horizon. They are a call to better myself in all areas of my life. Changing the way I think, they will drive me throughout my days.
Yesterday at my church they began a drive, actually about a week ago, that has left me questioning the leadership and guidance of the members. One of the lines in the bulletin is "Empowering a community to end generational poverty. Yet, where it ask a person where to give it gives you the option to give from a credit card. Does this seem wrong to anybody but me? How can we empower people to live a life without poverty when the biggest form of poverty is debt? Our church even did a message over Dave Ramsey. I am appalled that we would ask someone to go into debt over an event that is attempting to rid a community of its financial woes.
God is really speaking to me to voice my concern. I know it will upset some people, but I need some clarification as to why we would ask for this. I love our church. This is where God has called us.

If you felt called to say something, I'm glad you carried that out. Even if it doesn't change anything, something needed to be said.
