Believe...

[Cabo Kid]

This is a song that has touched me and I hope will do the same for you. I, like many others, have shed so many tears for the victims and their families in the past 24 hours...I am praying that the Lord will take control of the situation as He sees fit and heal our brokenness tonight. The heartache I feel is emmense...I didn't know anyone in any of the four crashes, but the sheer loss of life and the disregard for human life has me almost not wanting to even go outside my home anymore. My family's health and safety are ALL that matter to me right now. My little girl is asleep right now in the room next to me and I think of how innocent that 3 year old is and how she has no idea of the turmoil that is about to unfurl. I pray so much for her safety, my wife's and my safety, my family, all of us here on the Links, my fellow countrymen...basically everyone. Is this going to become Armageddon? Is it going to affect us in the continental US at all? Will we ever be able to travel without fear again? I don't have the answers, but there is One who does...all I can do tonight is put my faith in Him and, as the song below says..."believe".

I hope the words touch you, too.

BELIEVE

Look what we can do,
When we get together
And give support
To those on the line.

It's our sons and daughters
Our sisters and brothers
Let's show them we care
If they live or die.

In this land of freedom
There's riots in the streets
All in the name of peace
If we stand in unity
We'll win with dignity
Our strength has said it all
Pray and Believe.

The wars thru the ages
Have taken so many lives
I think of their faces
And the fear in their eyes...

With hearts made of courage
And souls filled with fire
Those who fight for their people
Let's lift their names higher!

In this land of freedom
There's riots in the streets
All in the name of peace
If we stand in unity
We'll win with dignity
Our strength has said it all
Pray and Believe...

Our strength has said it all
Pray and Believe.


By the way, this is a song from Stryper. I hope reading this gives you a sense of reassurance and comfort that there IS a Greater Power watching over all of us tonight.

God bless you all and God bless the United States of America.

Amen. God Bless you too Cabo. Dont worry man. We will be back to arguing over lead singers again in no time. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] Go kiss that precious little girl of yours and know that she is in the best place in the world right now, as are the rest of us.

Amen Cabo, much love to you and your family from mine. We will survive! God will always be in control and there is a reason for everything. America has come together and will be stronger as a result. Although we will not ever be the same, an example like this shows how important love and understanding can be. I'm jazzed by the support in this country alone. I'm also touched that our brothers in Canada, Europe, and Austrailia are rallying by our side. Many more will follow. Whoever is responsible for this tragedy will pay. I hope my eyes will see it.
