Quote of the Day
"It seems to me that we must define rather carefully the way,
or ways, in which music can glorify God. There is … a sense in which all natural
agents, even inanimate ones, glorify God continually by revealing the powers He
has given them. And in that sense we, as natural agents, do the same. On that
level our wicked actions, in so far as they exhibit our skill and strength, may
be said to glorify Good, as well as our good actions. An excellently performed
piece of music, as natural operation which reveals in a very high degree the
peculiar powers given to man, will thus always glorify God whatever the
intention of the performers may be. But that is a kind of glorifying which we
share with the ‘dragons and great deeps’, with the ‘frost and snows’. What is
looked for in us, as men, is another kind of glorifying, which depends on
intention. How easy or how hard it may be for a whole choir to preserve that
intention through all the discussions and decisions, all the corrections and the
disappointments, all the temptations to pride, rivalry and ambition, which
precede the performance of a great work, I (naturally) do not know. But it is on
the intention that all depends. When it succeeds, I think the performers are the
most enviable of men; privileged while mortals to honor God like angels and, for
a few golden moments, to see spirit and flesh, delight and labour, skill and
worship, the natural and the supernatural, all fused into that unity they would
have had before the Fall.", C. S. Lewis
Football Fun
Ready set hike! Today we had some football in the back yard, Luther and Gordon got on there pads and started the game, Leanne was the ref and stretcher operator. With time ticking on the clock the two ferocious boys charged and ran the football up and down the yard.

"Anyone who is to find Christ must first find the church. How could anyone know where Christ is and what faith is in him unless he knew where his believers are?"- Martin Luther
