Well, it happened again last night at the hymn sing. Faces left church radiating with smiles because they had joy in their hearts. It was our Christmas hymn sing and people esthetically lifted their voices in praise to God and it made our hearts happy. Music is such good therapy for the soul, it just replaces the gloom that life might bring and restores the soul. God's music is so much different from the world because it's all about a God who loves, cares, and gives us hope. So the lesson learned last night was simple, if you want your spirit lifted and your joy restored, get together with God's people and bellow out praise to God! It's guaranteed to put a smile on your kisser, and don't forget, if you'll do this, sir, life won't be miserable. Don't believe me, check out James 5.

Kind of odd how one minute I can be crying buckets of tears and than a song comes on, a happy Christian song, and in the next minute I'll be singing at the top of my voice and clapping my hands, and all at once I am reminded that we have such joy within...Christ lives within us. WOW! The music helps remind me that the Christian faith isn't about me and has everything to do with HIM! One song that keeps my feet a stomping and my hands clapping is I'm gonna keep on singing."
