Music for the soul!

"Music consists of individual notes that are constructed for the purpose of producing harmonious pitch. If the notes are discordant, they sound like noise. It is when they are orchestrated into harmony that our souls rest in the tranquility of gentle sounds. Life is very much like music. The art of living is to orchestrate and organize one's life in such a way that all of the various events and demands can be produced without their colliding into one another and creating noise. That is what we all want to achieve. But no orchestra can have harmony amid the diversity of its instrumentation if there is not a conductor to maintain timing and structure. The Lord is the conductor who orchestrates the affairs that tend to create the noise of stress in all of us. Without Him, life sounds like a junior high school band warming up for the march! [ahahaha] The Lord brings calmness and order to a chaotic world."

"So take a moment to inhale a deep breath of air and exhale every stress you have ingested, and let's talk about turning the noise of your life into the music that you want to hear." Yeah!

Table for one please...

"So tonight, dear friend, set the table for one and sit in the presence of your own personhood. Drink the robust wine of your own thoughts and laugh hysterically at some humorous memory that you can share with no one but yourself. Could it be possible that before the night is over you might find yourself warmed by the fire of your own dreams, and perhaps ever so gently whisper the confession that by God's grace you have finally learned to enjoy your own company?"

(Jakes, 2000)

I love how music is in everything. God uses music to speak to me, and I use it to worship and to 'speak' back to Him. Amen!
