Have you ever felt stupid? You feel like you have been doing the right thing, but it seems to stand in stark contrast with what others are doing — which leaves you left wondering if you’re actually doing the right thing…or if you’re just stupid. One of my best friends passed away ten years ago this September; his name was Ken Rutherford. Some of you knew him. If you knew Ken, you might have heard him say, “Sometimes I don’t know if I am faithful, or just stupid!” He stated this once to me over a coffee conversation (some twenty years ago) about life and faith, and the statement immediately resonated with me. I wrote a song for him…and I decided that the message never expires – and that it was time to update the song.
The 10th anniversary of my good friend’s passing is a milestone for me. His funeral was one of the last times I performed any music before enter my 10-year silence…and I am now emerging on the 10th anniversary of his passing. He was a good friend. I miss him.
Here is “Stupid” — it will be part of the Breathing Again album project — if you like it, please consider sharing.
