From a Distance

Music is powerful.  There are songs that take you back in time.  You can remember who you were with, what you were thinking, and where you were at the time when the song was popular.  There are a few songs that just stop me in my tracks.  Every time I hear the song I have to stop and think about the words. 

From a Distance, especially sung by Bette Midler, makes me think.  In fact, I use this song in my diversity course because from a distance so many things make sense.  When she sings, "what is all this fighting for," ....I have to stop and think.  Do you believe God is watching us from a distance?  I do.

I do Dr. Freed. I believe we are being watched over. However, I also believe we are given free will to control our own lives. That free will is what make each of us who we are. It is also what makes the world so tough to live in. Not everyone lives a good life. Not everyone is kind to each other. Whether a person believes in the Bible or not, people choose to act a certain way. I would like to believe that if everyone chose a path of kindness and commitment to each other the world would be a better place. It starts one person at a time.
