Home Free Posted on March 19, 2007 By pamela I am deeply saddened at the passing of a tremendously blessed and gifted musician, pianist, Roger Bennett. I will greatly miss his marvelous gift and ability to share gospel truths, encouraging words, laughs and… hope in sorrow. I will miss his integral part of the beautiful dynamic of Legacy 5. I will miss anticipating and attending the music concerts of Legacy 5. What a blessing it is to have most all their CD’s… the music is tremendously inspiring. I love that he wrote of his journey and trials in his Midnight Meditations. I love that he walked with God – that he trusted Him through the highest and lowest points of his life. I love that he had a fabulous sense of humour. I love that he was compassionate and considerate of others despite his own painful condition. I love that he used the gifting of the LORD to bless others and that the legacy of his life will play on… One of my favourite songs he sand was: Home Free, a Wayne Watson song. So today, I’m remembering Roger Bennett… finally: ultimately healed and: Home free! Home Free Wayne Watson I’m trying hard not to think you unkind But Heavenly Father If you know my heart Surely you can read my mind Good people underneath the sea of grief Some get up and walk away Some will find ultimate relief Chorus Home Free, eventually At the ultimate healing we will be Home Free Home Free, oh I’ve got a feeling At the ultimate healing We will be Home Free Out in the corridors we pray for life A mother for her baby, A husband for his wife Sometimes the good die young It’s sad but true And while we pray for one more heartbeat The real comfort is with you You know pain has little mercy And suffering’s no respecter of age, of race or position I know every prayer gets answered But the hardest one to pray is slow to come Oh Lord, not mine, but Thy will be done Let it be… Chorus Home Free, eventually At the ultimate healing we will be Home Free Home Free, oh I’ve got a feeling At the ultimate healing We will be Home Free Home Free, eventually At the ultimate healing gonna be Home Free Home Free, oh it’s more than a feeling At the ultimate healing Gonna be Home Free Potpourri

Non-optionals Posted on June 13, 2007 Time’s a strange thing… it has a wonderful and peculiar way of sort of settling things. Sort of like a river finds that level ground or a lake is formed with the pooling of water… people’s ideas or methods seem to me to tend to be like that. I think… Read More
Life’s a Rewrite Posted on January 17, 2007 I’m sitting here this morning thinking of ways we used to do things and ways we do them now. Sort of a rewrite. I stayed up a little late (a little late for lately, not a little late for times past – that would’ve been *really* late) last night as… Read More
