I got a call from my brother Homer last night asking if I was aware that Jordan Smith was going to perform on the People’s Choice Awards?  I wasn’t.  He went on to say that Jordan was going to sing You Are So Beautiful which was written by the late Billy Preston.  What he told me, that I didn’t know, was that the song,  just like Have I Told You Lately, written by Van Morrison, was actually a Christian song dedicated to God.  Both Van Morrison and Billy Preston were believers, Van still is with us here, sadly we lost Billy Preston, but Heaven gained him!

 

Anyway, once again Jordan crushed it and received a rousing standing ovation.  Today his performance and Vin Diesel’s acceptance speech are being hailed as the two best moments of the evening.  You can enjoy both on You Tube, the link for Jordan is below:

I had to watch, and I mean it was mostly torture, more than half the show to get to Jordan.  I have an observation, but it must start with a proclamation.  Fortunately, God loves everyone that was in the that building last night, His Son died for every individual there.  Unfortunately, what was on display during most of the show was just how far we have gotten away from decency, and our traditional values.  Egos were on parade, modesty was mostly absent, some of the performances were impossible to watch. I remarked to Sherelene after a singing group, all wearing red boots, I have no idea who they were, and don’t care to find out,  seemed like the opening act for the stage play, Hell!  Sure there were some gracious people, some people that talked about how much love matters, some of there definitions of love are little or a lot perverted, but hey but at least they weren’t recruiting for ICIS!!!!

 

We were told over two thousand years ago what the world was like, and it has gotten a lot worse.  Lying in bed last night I couldn’t help but wonder how do we defeat an enemy that has such a strangle hold on the minds and hearts of the world!!??  Then I came to my senses and remembered He has already defeated the enemy!  Our victory is won, now we must love was many was we can until they find the Truth.
