Dustin Kelley and myself wrote a song a few years ago titled LIFES RIDE I had been playing with the opening line and shared it with him and we set off a six hour writing session. We write very well together as we both tend to tell our separate stories in verse then craft in the chorus. The line I pitched was Somewhere in between right and wrong youll find me this led us to a story of life with the metaphor of a Bull Rider. One of the lines Dustin shot at me was: Everyone can see what this life has done to me, their judgments mean nothing, Its all about the ride! Dustin having a background in ministry and having preached many sermons on the topic of Casting Judgments of Others really had me anxious to touch that area in the song. You know it really is a shame that people are quick to judge one another and its my belief that is a toll that will have to be paid at the Pearly Gates before entering. JUDGEMENTS In the woods behind my home I played as a child. I was really into trees learning the many types and understanding the trees indigenous to my playground. It was sad to me that some of the smaller trees were forced to grow in the shadows of the larger trees. Many times the trees branching would be to one side alone, due to the sunlight restriction. Never given a chance to bloom its full beauty. Some never made it from seedlings and never had the chance to root, again the larger trees dominated the woods. The point I am trying to make is no two trees grow the same and there is usually a reason for this. I wish all people would consider the way of life for people can also vary, depending upon on a good genealogical root system. We need to accept not all people or trees are nourished the same. I am no Bible scholar but I was read to as often as I liked by my Grandmother and I think there is one message from God that stands out for me than others and that is DONT HURT MY CHILDREN and Judge not that in which you have no knowledge of! I know from experience that words are every bit as harmful to a person as a cast stone. SAVE THE TREES! Here is the song!
