I was driving back from Portsmouth tonight along the coast on 1A and I had the radio blazing with the windows open. It was a wonderful night for a ride. The tunes stopped and an ad came on the station so I searched for the next piece of music I could find and I hit the beginning of Jimmy Cliff singing I Can See Clearly Now. It's always been a meaningful song to me...a song of hope and redemption.
The wind was blowing the scent of the ocean through the car and I was all alone on the road. I started singing with the man and when I came to the point where he says, "Here is that rainbow I've been praying for..." I just got torn open and all of the stuff inside of me worked its way out with a prevailing sense of joy. "Look all around, there's nothing but blue skies!" Thank you my Lord, I am a blessed man! I couldn't sing another lick because Jimmy busted me so wide open. I am a blessed man.
