My friend John was preaching at Annual Conference. In his sermon he said he loved the Eagles. (Who doesn’t?) He said that one of their songs, at least the title, reflected what he thought God felt about us- The Best of My Love.
Like all good Methodist ministers, when given the chance, I sit on the back row. There I was, between Russell and Daniel (two clergy friends). I couldn’t resist. I leaned over to Russell and whispered, “What a coincidence! One of the Eagles songs reflects my thoughts about my relationship with God, too!” “Which one?” Russell asked. “Tequila Sunrise,” I said. Daniel leaned over and said, “Desperado.” Another person whispered, “For me it’s Kansas- Carry On, My Wayward Son.”
Not good to put too many Methodist ministers together on the back row.
My friend Joel and his staff are delivering a series of sermons this summer where they use popular songs as images of God’s love.
What would your song be?
(Note: In all seriousness, John Gorka has a song that basically tells where I am at this point in my life, Morningside. Here it is. Have a listen! - Morningside
