It flowed easily and had a message that appealed to me. Chuck really revealed a lot about himself as he sang about where his songs were coming from. I could sense the strong and positive ties he had with his Grandparents. He drew me right into his memories and I found myself reflecting back on my owm memories. The melody even had a dreamy reminiscence to it. I found this a very delightful song. It flowed easily and had a message that appealed to me.

After visiting one of our Sister's parents' home recently, I was reminded of how much photographs, unique items passed on through the generations, etc. are all part of family identity. Chuck's lyrics (and that read between the lines) proclaims some profound truth. Thanks for your comment. My heart found a ‘home’ in this verse of the song, too, Maggie.

The line "I searched the basement for baseball cards, but instead I found a big red guitar", for me means when we go looking for something we end up finding God along the way. It comes as a surprise, and sometimes a shock. I'm very glad I took the time to listen to it. This is song reminded me of connecting our daily lives with our spirtual growth in Christ.

They just put down the "big thoughts" and leave out all the little pieces in between. Somehow we teachers can get stuck on that little in between stuff and fail to focus on the big thoughts. That's how life goes--some big happenings surrounded by little inconsequential blips. I guess that's how the song of our life gets composed. God plants the big elements, we and our fellow travelers provide the little stuff and the song begins to be sung!
