Sept 2, 2009

Today's blog is on the video of a man who wrote the song, "It is well, with my soul." He had all his investments burned in the great Chicago fire. I would have been devastated if I had invested all my money in a life long savings and to have it all burned away in a fire, it would practically be my life gone down the drain.
It was also a tragedy how he lost his 5 children, I do not know how it would of felt to experience that since I do not have children. I do not blame him and his wife for mourning for their children's death. I also find it honorablle how they continued on with their work depite what they had been through.
They must have had a lot of faith in what htey believed that, I'm glad that in the world today when tragedies happen, we can each find something for us to continue going. I really hope my life doesn't turn out this bad, but I do not expect it to be perfect

The thing is, I don't believe that he felt his life turned out bad, even after he lost his wife. Now that's faith.

We need more than something to keep us going.
