Okay, I have fallen in love with Connersvine and their new song "Hero." Not only is the song musically impressive, the words and meaning behind the music just blows me away. Is it coincidence that this song about a father's passion for his young son has come to my attention just after Father's Day and after the devastating news from our SC Governor - his broken family is suffering so much. His four beautiful sons need a hero right now.
I have to admit, I have let my children down when they were younger...what parent hasn't fallen short? There is beauty in recovery, though. I know it. We need to all face our demons and put things out of our lives that we know will be bound to destroy the faith and innocence of the ones we love the most. This revelation from the weary Governor is really a humbling wake up call for all of us. How many of us are teetering on such a disaster...and maybe don't even recognize it? I realize that he (and his family) will face consequences untold for his malfunction...and his future is unclear; but we all need to put aside our anger, humiliation and thoughts of revenge and replace it with thoughtfullness, self-examination and humility. sometimes you have to pick your collective character up by the bootstraps and keep moving forward. Recovery is the result of love and forgiveness and restoration (within an appropriate time frame), not bitterness.
