Revealing Radio

True story: (I couldn’t have made this stuff up.) On my way back from driving my kids to school this morning, while thinking about the pending "Strategic Planning Process" and my own opinions on it, I hit the “scan” button on the radio. It paused on a Christian station but I let it go on because the song sounded a little too country (Sorry, I’m not a fan). I stopped it on the next song that it paused on. Can’t remember the title but it’s the one that says, “It’s time we stop, hey what’s that sound? Everybody look what’s going on.” (Forgive me if a word or two are off). After that, trying to avoid commercials, I had to laugh because the next station it came to, “We’re not Going to Take It!” by Twisted Sister was on. So after jamming through that, I hit the scan button once again and the next song it hit was Diana Ross’ “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough”. If I remember correctly, I think they used that one on one of the “Sister Act” movies applying it to our relationship with God. Tell me I’m a cornball and reading way too much into it, but I think that those three songs are relevant to a little trip that many of us are starting to go on.

And I think it is worth noting that the last song of that trilogy can serve to remind us that God is always with us. To quote Ashford and Simpson from the song: “But remember, if you should fall short of your desires, Remember life holds for you one guarantee… You’ll always have me.”
