HEY GRANDAD - Forrest Frank

Your lyrics are always so clever

Hahaha

I enjoy them

Thank you, thank you

So what have you written this new song or so coming out?

Yeah, I've actually been working on a whole album

I'm calling the project child of God

Is that right?

Yeah, haha

Okay, tell me about it

Well so it, yeah so it has songs like No Longer Bound

And Good Day, and

Oh, no

Up and you just-, you know it has the really exciting songs

It has some more intimate songs

But there's this one detail that's kind of flowing through it

I came across this Billy Graham testimony

Do you remember that?

Is that right, oh absolutely

Do you remember?

That was an exciting time

Do you remember what year that was?

Boy, it was when we were in Miami

Uh, it probably been in the eighties sometime

I wonder if I could look it up

I don't know if it, uh yeah

So what did you-, what did you run into on that

Let's actually see if, uh we can go, 1985

There you go

That is crazy, uh

But you know forty years have passed now

And I'm just curious

How much of that statement is true?

Oh, more so than ever

What is life all about?

What's the purpose of it?

Uh, is it just getting things?

And then they get things and then they're not satisfying

And you know-, uh, Forrest, not in '92 and '93, and both mom and I

Are not nearly as stable as we used to be, uh

And you look back on your life

And you say, what would I have done different?

And I would tell you I would do more to be related to God

That's the important lesson

And you know we've been up and down

We've, you know I've had good positions

I've had, uh, we've had a major financial security, and

We've been able to do almost anything we wanted to do

And you know when I look back

What did all that mean?

You know I've got a boat that's '99, was '96, it sits here

I don’t know whether it'll ever get in the water again

That boat had tremendous memories to it

And I wouldn't trade that for anything

But when you look back

And you think, was that the most important thing that I could have done?

Or should I spend more time, you know

Studying God, and the bible, and-and being more sensitive in that area

Yeah

And helping others

Well, Forrest there's no question that God has singled you out

To reach out to the younger generation

And I think that that's why God has been really working on you

And it's God anointed

And, but it's got a purpose

The purpose is to reach that younger generation

And you happen to be that person

Okay, well I am so excited that you called

And gave me an update on what's happening

And just keep us posted, posted, posted, posted
