There was a trial today to decide guardianship issues re: his birth mom. We were faced with the doorway opening to adoption, or returning him to his mom with an hour or two notice.
I haven't wept when I first heard a Hip song since The Depression Suite. Until today.
Where everything is quiet
A little super-dangerous
In the shadow of the law
And with colours of justice.
It was damn near quiet enough to hear God rustling around in the bushes. I don't know if it's the song or the good news we received at trial today. Or both. But this song gets me.
Beautiful, another reason why I love this band, soundtrack to your life.
I will not give up. My face is set,my gait is fast,my goal is heaven,my road is narrow,my way is rough,my companions are few,my guide is reliable,my mission is clear. I cannot be bought,compromised,detoured,lured away,turned back,diluted or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice,hesitate in the presence of adversity,negotiate at the table of the enemy,ponder at the pool of popularity,or meander in the maze of mediocrity. I will not give up,shut up or slow down....Blessed Be!
