TODAY IS…MUSIC LOVERS DAY

The birth of music occurred in China during the reign of the legendary "Yellow Emperor", Hwang Di, around the year 3000 B.C. He is said to have sent the noted scholar Ling Lun to the western mountain regions of his domain. His task was to find a way to reproduce the song of the phoenix bird. Ling returned with bamboo pipes he could play - and started the love of music for mankind.

TODAY’S SMILE

While walking along the sidewalk in front of his church, a minister hears the intoning of a prayer that nearly makes his collar wilt.

Investigating, the minister discovers that his five-year-old son and playmates have found a dead robin. The children, feeling that the little bird ought to have a proper burial, have put the bird in a small box and dug a hole for a grave.

As the one chosen to say the appropriate prayers, the minister's son is mimicking his father's sonorous dignity and repeating what he thinks he's heard his father say: "Glory be unto the Faaaather ... and unto the Sonnnn ... and into the hole he gooooes."

A Life Perspective

If God was to grant you 70 years of your life...

You would spend: 24 years sleeping

14 years working

8 years in amusement

6 years at the dinner table

5 years in transportation

4 years in conversation

3 years in education

3 years reading

3 years watching television

If you went to church every Sunday and prayed 5 minutes every morning and night, you would be giving God 5 months of your life.

Can't we give 5 months out of 70 years?

TODAY’S REFLECTION

The Lord is my light and my salvation: Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the defense of my life; Whom shall I dread? When evildoers came upon me to devour my flesh, My advesaries and my enemies, they stumbled and fell. Though a host encamp against me, My heart will not fear; Though war arise against me, In spite of this I shall be confident.

Psalm 27:1-3

When pressure mounts, when a groundswell of fear invites panic, to whom do you turn? In whom do you trust? This song offers abundant reassurance.

Pressure and potential fear are reminders to fall back on our Lord.

Charles R. Swindoll, Living Beyond the Daily Grind
