I snapped this while walking around Waikiki last week…

I’ve seen guys covered in gold and silver – this was the first in newspaper.

As we flew home from Hawaii last Friday, I occupied my time in various ways: talking with my wife, looking at pictures, napping, playing Angry Birds, watching videos, and listening to music.

At one point, Lincoln Brewster’s song God You Reign came on…

I so appreciate that song and have listened to and lead it many, many times.  Honestly though, when I listen to it, I usually skip the ending and proceed to the next song (I guess I do this on other songs too).  This time, I let it play through as I stared out the window of the plane…

At the end of the song (at ~5:36),the words “God You Reign” are spoken three times as the song plays out.

Not to sound overly spooky or weird, but in my mind, I imagined my parents speaking those words…

…reassuring me that, no matter what…

…God reigns supreme and providentially over all.
