My dad grew up in the south, my mom in Southern Indiana...southern gospel music is part of who I am. It is part of my heritage, my culture, my roots--and there is a song that I listen to when I feel like life is caving in on me. Mom's rough summer, when daddy lost his job, Mikey's accident... So, tonight this one goes out to my parents, my brother, Aunt Libby and Uncle Jim, Eric and Chandra and the kids (and to Jen who I subjected to this on repeat all night in the basement, sorry!) We are all going to be alright...

Because God's Good
The Martins

When it's hard, when it hurts
When it's gettin so confusing you don't even know which came first--
was it the clouds or the rain
He is strong when we're not
He's forgiving when we stumble,
never ending love no matter what
And He ain't fixin' to change
You say "Is He aware and does He even care"
I say "Yes He is and Yes He does"

Because God's good so good
Absolutely, positively, definitely
Nothin' but good to me and you
On my baddest bad day or my deepest dark night
I know that everything is gonna be alright
Because God's good
Oh yes He is

I just wish my family could have heard me singing. If Jen hadn't been asleep my roots might have really come out cause I was ready to start shouting!
Good night, God's good.
