Why I Love Country Again



I spent 10 hours driving through the middle of nowhere country on Sunday and came to the conclusion that country music is what holds this great nation together. Well, I'm sure that's not all it is. But as I listened to never ending country stations that were always clear, I heard normal people singing about normal things. They sang about their faith in God and they also sang about falling in love and having family's, the familiartiy of life in a small town and even the occaisonal mess up that we all have. It was real, raw and nice to know that people across the land are blessed and struggle with the same things. Yes, it is true, I have fallen back into the twangy pit of country music with a vengance.
Moving along, I had a wonderful weekend/day with my family. Thankfully the day seemed to drag. I think it was one of the only times I was glad to have a slow moving day. On the way to the wedding I was able to see one of my good buddies from my Mexico life in Yakima. So I was pretty much blessed alot over the course of the weekend. Now it is back to work. Fun times
