Former songwriter sees God's hand in plans

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (BP)--Adam Dorsey has packed so much living into the past decade it might make for a good country/western song on par with "Walkin' the Floor Over You."

As any fan worth his salt knows, an authentic country verse contains at least three elements: a major heartache book-ended by loving and leaving. Dorsey, a master of divinity student at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, has experienced all three over the 10 years.

But Dorsey, himself an accomplished writer of country tunes, is quick to point out that his storyline differs from the typical country lyric in that God has been the chief actor who has orchestrated the verses of his life's song both for Dorsey's good and God's glory. Thus, in Dorsey's narrative, heartache is a minor note.
