Hello long lost following friends! Remember me?!

No, I did not fall off the face of the Earth.

Yes, my world has changed since our last encounter.

But alas, the time has come to bust out the proverbial AED, slap those pads on and shock this heart back into rhythm. Maybe you can relate.

I heard an artist on the radio today talking about the lyrics of his song. He explained that it is based on a story he heard from a pastor who had an expert heart surgeon in his church. After a lot of begging, the heart surgeon allowed the pastor to come observe an open heart surgery.

The pastor watched the surgeon use calculated, precise incisions and sutures. He tried various procedures on the patient , but appeared to be unsuccessful, as the patient’s heart had stopped beating.

The pastor watched as the heart surgeon leaned down and said, “Ma’am, you are going to have to tell your heart to start beating again.”

And it did.

And so, here I sit telling myself, “It’s time to tell your heart to beat again.”

Thump, thump…thump, thump…thump, thump….
