I so much thank Megan Briggs of Churchleaders for posting this message. This song really touches my heart at this time as I am suffering much grief this Christmas. This morning I am officiating a funeral service for a young man. We always are praying for my sister Deb who lost her hubby Paul of almost 40 years this summer to a farm accident. Paul was such a wonderful man of God. A true servant to the Reading, Minnesota area! It hurts. Sharon and I also grieve the passing of our puppy Daisy. Daisy was our partner in ministering to the world. She traveled with us everywhere, building bridges of love and trust. Never discount God’s fur babies. We also have best friends that are having serious health issues. We have one dear man that we are ministering to that is mourning the passing of his wife. I also have what I call ‘battle fatigue,’ too many funerals, especially of young people. Sadly, it is the world we have created. I am not much of a music man, but this song does preach to me!
One more thing, we all should also beware of the dark world we are handing down to our children and grandchildren. Too many Christians have blinders on. The failure of the Church to carry out The Great Commission is right before our eyes. America is broken. I am all about the truth and the love of Jesus and living my life by His Word and it hurts to see this destruction of America. I am not in ministry to blow smoke, inflate my ego, and build a kingdom of my own, I am here to view the world from a Biblcial Worldview, no matter how lonely it gets.
I texted this to FGGAM News Director Chuck Akeley this morning: “We are living in a time where our government is inviting destruction.” RE: Fentanyl and the border and other…..
From Churchleaders: Pentatonix released a Christmas album a few years back, including Christmas classics like “Oh Come All Ye Faithful” and “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen.” You’ll also find a curious choice: a cover of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah.” The Hallelujah Pentatonix video has already been viewed over 9 million times. Fans new and old cannot get enough of this haunting song. Using Biblical references to King David and Samson, the song explores love found and lost and the resulting brokenness it leaves in its wake.

Decision-making is normally a challenge for grieving hearts
