For the start of my week, I would like to begin by telling my small audience why I value family morals because of music. On this bright and cool Sunday, I think back to when I was a child and I remember how family meant so much to me and to the other people of this big old world. How people took pride in working hard and having simple loving homes to show for it. How a mother was a mother and took care of her kids while her husband provided for the family, financially, architecturally and by love, grace and faith. This morning I will be leaving my computer to go to church with my children and on my way, I will enjoy the simple sounds of Sister Rosetta Tharpe, right, and Charlie Patton. I admire their ideals of a hard working generation where a glass of iced tea after a long day meant more than a fancy car. A quiet place in the middle of trees and gentle flowing rivers that felt like Heaven was real and could be attained through the same hard work that got the cool drink. I wonder at times, what has led us so far into the world of wants and desires, and what had ever happened to our purpose. When did we all lose our drive to give our children a valuable education, one where we didn’t try to please everyone and aimed to satisfy our basic needs? I had a friend once say how the economy would not be displaced if we would have held fast to our convictions and strayed from the temptations of desires. Credit and debt go hand in hand, and with out our wants to be the best, own the best, attain the most expensive and rare items, maybe we wouldn’t be in this position. And it is the whole world, not only in America. I know this has little to do with music, although I hate to have limits. My ideas are forged through years of hearing, and experiencing, hard times and simple rewards. I wonder if my readers, the few I have, would mind hearing more of these thoughts in the coming Sundays. I would like to take this precious, once valued family day, and bring those values back to the modern race. If you agree, let me know. I cannot wait until next Sunday.
