I'm watching GAC's Positively GAC. For those who don't know what that is, it's the Great American Country channel and during this time, the videos they play all have positive messages.
The song 800 pound Jesus caught my attention. I'd never seen the video & thought it was quite fitting for this blog so I'd like to share it with you.
That last scene caught me off guard and the tears came flowing down from out of nowhere.
I can relate to that mom all too well. Her daughter comes home, mom's sitting alone freshly bruised. Her daughter reaches her hand out to her, mom takes her hand while jerking back slightly before she makes contact. Out of the whole video, that's the part that caught my attention the most. It's something that I think that most people watching it wouldn't even notice & those who do notice would probably think that it's because her daughter's touch would hurt a fresh bruise.
What I see is a mother trying to "protect" her daughter. Kind of like "Don't Look and it Won't Hurt". For her daughter to touch it, makes it real. Not only to the mother, but to the daughter as well. Abuse hurts the whole family, not just the person who's being abused.

Hey- thanks for informing me of the glitch on my comment page. However, I don't even see a captcha when I go to comment. IDK, maybe it was a computer glitch. Who knows, but thanks! And yes, I live by Covergirl Mascara. It's really the best!
