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? \u00a0I wasn’t. \u00a0He went on to say that Jordan was going to sing You Are So Beautiful<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0which was written by the late Billy Preston. \u00a0What he told me, that I didn’t know, was that the song, \u00a0just like Have I Told You Lately<\/strong><\/span>, written by Van Morrison, was actually a Christian song dedicated to God. \u00a0Both Van Morrison and Billy Preston were believers, Van still is with us here, sadly we lost Billy Preston, but Heaven gained him!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Anyway, once again Jordan crushed it and received a rousing standing ovation. \u00a0Today his performance and Vin Diesel’s acceptance speech are being hailed as the two best moments of the evening. \u00a0You can enjoy both on You Tube, the link for Jordan is below:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=z-eQmCWDwvU<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I had to watch, and I mean it was mostly torture, more than half the show to get to Jordan. \u00a0I have an observation, but it must start with a proclamation. \u00a0Fortunately, God loves everyone that was in the that building last night, His\u00a0Son died for every individual there. \u00a0Unfortunately, what was on display during most of the show was just how far we have gotten away from decency, and our traditional values. \u00a0Egos 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, \u00a0seemed like the opening act for the stage play, Hell! \u00a0Sure 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!!!!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n We were told over two thousand years ago what the world was like, and it has gotten a lot worse. \u00a0Lying 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!!?? \u00a0Then I came to my senses and remembered He has already defeated the enemy! \u00a0Our victory is won, now we must love was many was we can until they find the Truth.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n
