True Story!

Have you ever wondered what this story (click) and this song (click) have in common?

This weekend my brother in law, Gregg, and sister in law, Jeana, attended the Family Fest in Gatlinburg, where gospel artist gather to have a weekend of concerts and entertainment. On Saturday night, Gregg text Jeremy to tell him that he had heard an awesome story by one of the artist, so I thought I'd take the time to share it with you.

If you will remember, a few posts ago there was a video with a song it entitled "Real Faith." The name of my post was called "Real People." For a quick memory refreshment, you can click on the link to the left and you can see the video again. The guy seated on the farthest left is the manager of that group - Brian Free. Hence the name, Brian Free and Assurance. Years ago, Brian Free sang with a group called Gold City. All of these groups fall in the musical genre of Southern Gospel, so if you're familiar, the name Gold City rings a bell.

Anyway, 22 years ago, Brian Free recorded a song with Gold City called "Only God Knows" which is the song that the link is to in the first paragraph. I can remember it from when I was a kid. I remember that's where the first stirrings of my opposition to abortion began.

This weekend at the Family Fest, Brian Free told the audience that recently he received a call from a lady who wanted to let him know that 22 years ago she heard that song. She said she was contemplating an abortion of her unborn child when she heard this song. She decided not to go through with it......I have no idea what the circumstance for her were.

He said that she called to let him know that the son she almost aborted was one of the 3 Navy Seals who killed the Somali pirates to save Captain Phillips after his capture......she just thought he should know!

Now you wonder why stories like this don't make the news. I guess they are too politically incorrect, right????

I needed a good story like that this weekend.....
