    I could listen to that song 100 times and it would still move me. The premise behind it is such a beautiful lost art--notice people and give them credit. Ben, you-- withyour ability to weave words together into thought-provoking stories--are a national treasure.

    Same here. the Lead singer of Casting Crowns is also incredibly talented. Both their voices are better than most.

    Continue to be impressed with his songwriting and musicianship. His marked humility is the mark of someone who truly cares about the music.

    Man...this really put an impact on me. I never had any thoughts on taxi drivers. I'll be honest I always thought they were scummy. This really changes my view on these hard workers.
