Must have been reading the Old Testament when I wrote this, as the words are focused on Ezekiel 18:20-22<\/a>. The verses talk about the relationships between sons and fathers and how the son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son. Sometimes when we reread a scripture we do not remember, the words of eternal life we rediscover sink deep into our heart (See Enos 1:3-4<\/a>). The description of Song 159 \u2013 Huntsville<\/a> specifies how disappointed I was with some of Paul\u2019s High School antics, and so it only made sense to use a photo of his and Kate\u2019s wedding reception to express to me how well he has \u201ctaken responsibility for his own actions,\u201d and is now one of the strongest members of the family in terms of \u201ckeeping from building family factions.\u201d Certainly, Paul and Kate have been blessed, both at work and with lovely children, demonstrating \u201cthe righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him who is pious.\u201d It is so obvious to me, in my older age, \u201cWe choose each day the path to take, For ourselves and for Jesus sake.\u201d I now feel closer to Paul than to my other sons and sons-in-law, or as the song says \u201cFathers and sons, eternal knots will tie,\u201d and \u201cshall live (hopefully) with the Father and the Son.\u201d When I refound this photo, I thought it was nice my \u201cJewish son,\u201d David Kessler, was talking to Paul and Kate. David stayed with us one summer when I was working at the University of Houston Seismic Acoustics Lab, where he was doing Post-Doc work on PSDM (see Song 165 \u2013 Feed Yourself First<\/a>). Then he came back and stayed with us several summers. He is a wonderful person, scientist, and has built a very interesting company, SeismicCity<\/a>. Keys this meditation recognized include how we must each take responsibility for our individual actions, and as we turn from iniquity, thankful to being washed in the blood of Christ, recognize all transgressions committed in the past shall not be mentioned in the future. And there were words from the meditation written specifically to me, including at the end of verse 1: \u201cLook at life in the eye, It\u2019s not your right to ask why, Bear the burdens we are given, They\u2019re our ticket back to heaven.\u201d<\/p>\n
