Great post. That song and the story impacted me. I thought about doing a post about it … but the better blogger beat me to it.

I was thinking about the odds of having a song named after me that people actually heard in a concert.

1. You have to be song-writable material.
2. You have to impact the life of a songwriter.
3. The songwriter has to want to write the song.
4. The songwriter has to be good.
5. You need someone to sing the song.
6. They have to be good.
7. People have to like their other music so they’ll get to hear your song.

Those odds are so huge ( I estimate at least 1 in 128,013) that the only way it’s going to happen is if God wants it to happen. But then, God never did worry much about odds, did He? (Judges 7)

I guess He wanted Mildred to have a song 🙂

It was a great concert!

I would be so happy if anybody wrote a song for me. It’s amazing how you can touch somebody’s life without realizing it.

To me, part of being consistent is seeing things through the “long run” lens…seeing myself as a future 80-year-old instead of just the harried 35-year-old mother of 2 small children that I am right now.
“Running the race” can be grueling at times whether it’s short or long, but the pace of the long run is completely different.
I hope that one day someone will be inspired to write a song about me called “Mary Catherine Martin”; we’ll only find out in the long run.

Thanks Kelly, it’s not that often that I write philosophically, probably because I choose not to subject readers to my odd thoughts that often. 🙂

It was a good concert though, and we had a good time. By the way, I like your “Friday Night Kelly” post. See, I can’t write like that, it’s very open and I think something that we can all identify with at some level in our lives.

Great concert, great post. I thought about the chorus in a Nicole Nordeman song called “Legacy”: “I want to leave a legacy. How will they remember me? Did I choose to love? Did I point to You enough to leave a mark on things? I want to leave an offering–a child of mercy and grace who blessed Your name unapologetically, and leave that kind of legacy.” Definitely not there yet.
