Six Word Saturday (6/12/10)

Happy Birthday (In Heaven) Brad Delp

Brad Delp was the lead singer of the band Boston.  In 2007 he killed himself.  I used to be very obsessed about people who died, starting when I was about 13 up until God healed me in October 2007.  No matter who it was who died, I would worry if it hurt, worry who missed them, worry if they were in heaven or not, and I wouldn't stop until the next person died.  I'm so glad I don't live like that anymore.  I know some people will discredit God's hand in this and say that it was just the counseling I started in August that year or the books my counselor had me read.  You know as well as I do that if you read a book, no matter how inspirational it is, the only way anything will stick is with God's help.

At any rate, Boston reminds me of my favorite brother Dave because he used to play records for me whenever I'd feel down as a kid, so I guess that's why this birthday is etched in my memory.  Here is one of the last songs Brad Delp recorded (as a solo artist, but it sounds a lot like Boston).
