This video changes lives.  Even if you already agree with the message, as I do, your life will change.  If you disagree with the message, your life will change.  God is visibly working... changing hearts... changing minds as we watch.  I'm thankful it kept finding its way back into my life.  

I finally finished it last night on my 3rd try.  Before last night, I thought the whole thing seemed like a cliché... interviewing young adults on street... asking questions they are not prepared to answer.  You will need to invest 33 minutes of your time.  It starts with Hitler and the Holocaust.  Eventually a light shines on one of the most controversial issues in America.  To think differently requires effort.  Stick with it, you might know yourself and God a little better in just 33 minutes.

Most, if not all of you, are too young to even think about being a husband or a father.  The following 17 seconds are from one of my favorite scenes.  Vito Corleone is a murderer, a criminal, and the head of a mafia family.  He's not a nice guy, but that doesn't make the words spoken any less wise.  Family matters to God therefore you matter to God.  Honor your parents.  Serve your family.  Put their interest above your own.

I have no idea how I ended up on this video.  I watched it with my 15yr old daughter Piper.  I confess I expected something mediocre and memorable for the wrong reasons.  I was surprised, especially at the crowd's reaction.  It worked so well because Taylor Swift didn't stray from who she is.  She stayed true to herself.  She knows herself and what she does well as an artist.  She didn't add dancers, put on a hoodie, or wear a hat cocked to the side... just a guitar, a mic, and her purple dress.  That's it.  If you don't know who you are and what you want, then anything goes and you will sink in the sand.  Otherwise she could have been memorable for the wrong reasons. Two comments per Youtube:

“Taylor Swift, whether you like her or not, is undeniably among the elite artists of all time.”   AGREE.

“Thumbs up if you let out a giggle when she said 'Yo'.”  GUILTY.

 Share your opinion.  Have a good and godly day.
