My friend, Kat, is hosting "Music Monday" on her blog.
This is a video to the song, "Redeemer" sung by Nicole C. Mullen. It is a stand-alone amazing, amazing song. But paired with this story, it brings a whole new level of meaning to the love of a father.
Many of you may know this story, but it gets me every time I hear it. Dick and Rick Hoyt are a father-and-son team from Massachusetts who together compete in marathon races. And if they’re not in a marathon, they are in a triathalon. Let me say that again: TRIATHALON. For those of you who don't know, a triathalon is a combination of 26.2 miles of running, 112 miles of bicycling, and 2.4 miles of swimming. Oh yeah. I forgot to mention, Dick Hoyt is in his 60s and Rick Hoyt cannot walk. He has cerebal palsey. I can barely run three miles without stopping.
Please read their story and let this video inspire you. http://www.teamhoyt.com/history.shtml)

Yes, that video gets me every time!
We did several "Brown Bag" concerts (free little shows at area malls) with her at KSBJ. It was always amazing to see the way people responded to that song - especially the business folks who just stopped by the mall for lunch. One time, I looked around the whole food court, packed with a couple hundred people and didn't see a person moving. The people at the restaurants weren't even serving food...just listening
jmjjj - The Smaller Person wanted to type.
