    ------ About the song I Saw God Today performed by George Strait

I Saw God Today is a song that I have put on my IPOD and I listen to it each night as I lay down to sleep. It is a precious song and it makes my heart feel good. It helps me to remember how I felt with the birth of my 4 children who are now grown and have children of their own. This is a special song.

    ------ About the song Love Without End Amen performed by George Strait

My father died when I was 31 years old. He never met two of my children. I have missed not having him in my life. I think that every man needs their father – to teach them, train them and to validate them as a man. There is not a day or age when this ends – as we pass through each stage of life – filled with new challenges and struggles – we need to have our fathers to turn to for advice, guidance and correction. So many of the troubles in our culture arise from the absence of fathers – we need their strength, courage and love to be complete. Many fathers, even the living, are not present in the lives of their families – they are wrapped up in work, sports, ambitions and worldly success. They are in the family picture – but not in the heart of the family.

We crave a love that is without measure, without merit – that is intrinsic and enduring. So often the recognition we receive comes from our works – we are trained chimps – getting good grades and scoring the winning touchdown so we will be loved and accepted. This creates a cycle in life that never ends – the need to prove oneself, to impress, to wow, to achieve and to win – all for love and acceptance. This song speaks of a father’s love – of our Fathers love – a love that is based on grace, not works. Yes, he wants us to succeed, to do our best, to fulfill our potential and to be all he created us to be – but that is not why he loves us. He loves us because we are his own. Period. The rest is gravy.

I have five children. I love them with all my heart. They are each unique – talented in different ways. They succeed, they screw up, the please me, they enrage me, they make me proud, they frustrate me – they win and they lose. My feelings for them do not change with the event or the outcome – my love for them endures even when I am disappointed.

His love for us is a love without end, amen. I am slowly learning and taking this truth to heart – I cannot earn his love, nor can I lose his love. I may lose his favor, but never his grace. So works are not to gain salvation, they are to please our Father, they are a means of expressing our heartfelt love and gratitude and of sharing it with others in his name.

Good works are an outgrowth of the holy spirit – nothing else – they express our love and joy – they are not intended to be a source of recognition or accolades. Equally, grace does not exclude us from punishment for our sins – just as an earthly father will punish his child for wrongdoing – so shall our eternal Father – with love in his heart he will provide the correction needed to ensure our safety and salvation. Punishment is not the absence of love, it is the epitome of love – it means that one cares enough to ensure that the individual doesn’t fall too far of course – down a path that leads to destruction.

I find tremendous peace in this knowledge. The love I feel for my own children is the same love both of my father’s felt/feel for me. I am forgiven, accepted and loved – as I am. And so are you! Everything else is gravy.

    ------ About the song Carrying Your Love With Me performed by George Strait

I grew up listening to this song, and when I found myself falling for the girl I was leaving behind in a move, this was the perfect expression of where my head was at. So I sent these lyrics from the bus stop as she ran through my head

    ------ About the song I Saw God Today performed by George Strait

You all are right. It's a great song with a powerful and true message. And George is a great artist who deserves credit for choosing this to put it on his album. But he didn't write it! Three men from Nashville did, one of whom is a friend of mine. In Country Music, there are many performers who don't write their own stuff. Thank George for doing a great job singing this song. But don't thank him for writing it. Give credit where it's due - to Monty Criswell, Wade Kirby, and Rodney Clawson. All of whom are great songwriters in their own right.

    ------ About the song The Breath You Take performed by George Strait

When I first heard this song I was driving down a dark and lonely interstate heading for yet another destination far away from family and the people that I love. I drive an 18 wheeler by trade and one of the job hazards is all of the time I spend away from home and by myself. Arrival times to my destinations are usually the beginning of a normal workday, for most people, so it is quite common for me to be working in the dark,quiet hours of any 24 hour period. Often I find myself reflecting on my life's mistakes and regrets thus far. Things I would give anything to be able to change, but unfortunately that is not how life goes. It can be quite depressing at times.

I lost my Father on Christmas morning of 1987 to cancer. He had just turned 65 in September. I was 27 and my wife and I just had our 2nd child. Matthew would be the last grandchild Dad would ever see. Dad was always such an amazing man to all of his seven children and the only love my sainted Mother ever knew. He was a Cleveland Fireman and had a small concrete company. He worked all the time and as a result and more often than not we didn't see much of him. School functions, sports events were missed and holidays were often spent with his chair at the head of the table empty. In my eyes, there was nothing Dad could not do. He was the smartest man I ever knew.

In 1995 I barely endured a most bitter divorce that resulted from my addiction to alcohol. My 3 children had been put in the middle and became the real victims. My many attempts to remain a presence in their lives were unsuccessful. Because of my past actions, I faced a number of obstacles in trying to remain an active father to them but sadly the legal system can become rather expensive. My financial responsibility to their needs was more important and became my priority. They found themselves growing up Fatherless. Many years have passed and nothing has changed but the date and year. I have just learned that my Daughter, Melissa is to be married. To know that she does not want me be the one to take her down the isle on her special day makes me most sad. There have been so many missed once in a lifetime events that I have not been privileged to be a part of.

My point is this: Bad choices that we make can come with devastating results and consequences. Life does not come with a rewind or pause button. Time waits for no one. I am hopeful that some men read my story and heed my simple advice before they too make bad choices. Your actions will not only direct your destiny in life, but that of your children and the role they will play in your life and in your future.
