It’s been a helluva year so far in 2018.

I’ve battled some extra personal demons (like many of us), my dad passed away a couple months ago, and a good friend from college succumbed to cancer over the weekend after a heroic three-year battle.

Sitting in church yesterday trying to soak in a little soulful energy, with the kids mulling between me and my wife, I was hoping for an inner boost that that seemed fleeting.  The readings were helpful to a point, the homily somewhat insightful, but it was the final song that gave me the final charge I was looking for.

“How Great Thou Art”.

Interested in the background?  I was, so for a little detail, in case you’re interested, here you go.

Indeed.  God is GOOD.  Amen I say, AMEN.
