I know it is only the Good Friday. Speak of good. Well, I am, in spite of the question.
My brother wrote and performs this song. He wrote it because someone he knows had relatives that pretty much ostracized that person because they practiced a different religion than the rest of the family.
The person was kind, gave to others, and basically followed the major tenant of all religions, “The Golden Rule”! This person believed in God.
I’m going to be honest here, as I have been before. I truly believe that whichever religion you believe in is right for you. Why? Because I believe religion was man made to fill the need every human has to have guidelines and more importantly the comfort and ‘home’ that comes from a belief.
But, this post is not about what or what not you believe, it is about kindness and concern and a human’s empathy for another. A good thing.
Some of you are questioning where the Good is in this much more than others are. For you all, I offer this: One good I see in this is that my brother was so moved by another person’s hurt that he wrote a song to share, an expression of love.
Only the Good Friday is a good thing. It is an excuse for blog readers to stop and speak of good, as in not gripe and smart off for at least one day of the week. Feel free to join in. Check out This Eclectic Life’s post for the week, She’s “all warm inside” – and gather the links of other bloggers who participate.
I hope you have a good moment in your day, today – and everyday.
Your brother is very talented. The subject is a touchy one, and it has “touched” many families. Such a shame. But, you are right. The good is that your brother wrote about it in his song. Perhaps the lyrics will touch just one person. That’s all it takes.
Hope your weekend is beautiful. Working on Panoply this weekend?

No, Shelly, we are not working on Panoply, our other life interfered, lol. Bill is talented, thank you, and I hope his song touches one person’s heart, at least. Some days I wish we were all free to just exercise our talents, other days, I realize we need to also ‘live life’, too.
