Years ago, I was watching season 1, episode 6 of the TV series "ROOTS", where the character Toby, played by John Amos, went outside with his newly born child. He lifted the child to the starry sky and proclaimed, "Behold, the only thing greater than yourself!" (Or something very similar)
I was thoroughly moved by that scene, and even though my son was almost 3 at the time, I re-enacted the scene, and asked God to use him in his earthly ministry, and to make him capable of the things I was not.
It's not the first time Corey has brought that scene back to mind, but watching him sing last Sunday, before his new church, again brought that moment back again.
I was blessed to see my son (Corey) singing at church, and it was evident he was feeling blessed and enjoying himself too.
Go to this link and choose the 01-25-09 sermon from the pull down. He is the good looking dude (takes after me) between the two ladies in the backup section. (If you don't want to watch the entire service, you can skip to the singing parts!)
I'm so blessed!

The only thing that comes close to equaling being blessed is realizing it. Good man.
Oh hon, you have every right to feel proud and blessed, this boy is a credit in every way. Karma has a lot to be thankful for - smile.

You are blessed. That's for sure. I can't get that video to come up here at the library, but I'll try again at home. Very happy for you brother, and him. I know how much it means to you.
Got it to work on the machine here at the base. Pretty cool. They put on a big show.
