Testify to Love

Old hymns speak and sing my love language.  Yet, every once in a while something contemporary comes along that just makes me want to throw my hands up in the air and shout, "Hallelujah! and Amen!"

And I'm Presbyterian, so that's saying something.

Anyway, here today in the US all sorts of people are a-twitter about midterm elections.  I will vote because I think it's important and it's the way I was raised.  I used to get ridiculously excited about election day and voting and participating in the American political process.  For me, it was like a holiday.

But this year, even though it's election day, what I'm most excited about is that it is the day my friend kicks cancer's butt!

So here, in my little corner of blog world, I am declaring today Testify to Love Day and I'm posting this video in my friend's honor.  It's a clip of Wynonna Judd singing in an episode of Touched By an Angel.  Say what you will about the show's highly questionable theology and over-the-top sentimentality; about country singers in general or even the color of Wynonna's hair.

This song speaks truth.  And my beautiful, brave friend, in her battle against cancer and in her life--together with every corner of creation--truly does testify to the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit.  Amen!

And, my rock-star diva, cancer-conquering friend sings a mean version of this her own self.



Won't you join me today in celebrating, by letting every breath you take give thanks to God above?

Linking up @ Finding Heaven today.  Come take a look.
