Steppin' It Up A Notch

So I bought the new Sanctus Real CD yesterday and I am really enjoying it. I don't own very many CD's mostly because I find that most of the time there's only 1 or 2 songs that I like and so I don't think it's worth buying the whole CD. Fortunately Sanctus Real has in my eyes, produced very good CD's. The last 2 albums of theirs I have purchased after only hearing 1 song, well actually this last one I didn't even really listen to any songs; once I found out they had a new CD out, I pretty much already knew that I was going to buy it, it was just a matter of time.

Anyways I cried when I heard the song Lead Me. It's just that lately I'm noticing that with the (older) people that I come into contact with, there's so much brokenness in their family lives. It pains me to see that but it breaks my heart because it's a reality in my own family. I know that it is a result of a fallen world, and it is absolutely devastating. The way I see it, man (as a gender) EPIC FAILed in the Garden of Eden, not for eating the fruit but for DOING NOTHING when Eve took it. At that point he gave up/lost everything he was supposed to be. Ever since, men have been failing to be the leaders they need to be, especially in the home and the result is the screwed up society that we have today. It is disheartening but the great thing is it doesn't have to be that way. As the latter part of this song states, we need to rely on God to help us. It is the hope and prayer I have for myself, for my dad, and for my friends.
