In Too Deep is a song by Genesis. It was released in 1986. Becky and I had been married for 10 years. It was summer and I had agreed to teach a two week course at Grace Seminary in Winona Lake, Indiana. While there I decided to drive to Campbell, Ohio over the weekend to visit the Romanian community where my mother had grown up. During that long drive on Hwy 30 between Fort Wayne and Canton this song was played constantly. I immediately fell in love with it. "You know I love you but I'm playing for keeps." To me it's always been the most moving pop song of the 80s.
One month from today Becky will have been gone for 11 years. Here's to many more happy memories in the face of the looming darkness, to life lived with wild abandon, until He said to me, "I am nearer to you than your panicked fluttering in your chest. When all this is too much, I am your rock, your solid ground. There's nowhere to go than deeper into my love."
Thank you, precious Savior.
