IN.
During his only inaugural address as the US President, John F. Kennedy issued this challenge to Americans: “Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.” It was a renewed call for citizens to surrender their lives in sacrifice and service to others. His words especially inspired the sons and daughters of men and women who had served their country in war.
His meaning was clear: What their parents purchased, often with their very lives, must now be protected by peaceful means. An army of volunteers arose to answer that call, and through the decades they have accomplished an immeasurable amount of humanitarian work around the globe.
Centuries earlier, the apostle Paul issued a similar call to Christians in the opening verses of Romans 12. Here he urges us to give our bodies as “living sacrifices” in service to the One who paid with His life for our sins. This spiritual sacrifice must be more than mere words; it must be an investment of our lives in the physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being of others.
Best of all, our serving can be done right where we are.
INSIGHT
: In Romans 12:1 Paul encourages us to offer our bodies as a living sacrifice to God by exhibiting behavior that is pleasing to Him. However, verse 2 encourages us to have our minds renewed as well. God wants us to be totally His in both actions and thoughts.

Hi everybody!
((((HUGS))))
I absolutely LOVED that show and the overture!
My Dad had an LP with several Rossini Overtures, Dona Diana, and Zampa.
I loved Zampa too.
Beethoven was cautious in his first set of violin sonatas because he wasn’t quite ready to take on the late Mozart for the crown. That would come later. These sonatas were dedicated to Tony Salieri, one of his two great teachers, and they were written for Lou himself and Rudy Kreutzer, a French violinist that he had come to respect for his technique.
It starts in a rolling 6/8 in A Major, marked “allegro vivace”, which means it should be pretty fast. Lou’s use of two-note fragments against a basic three borders on the hilarious; he had quite a sense of humor. The transitional material sounds like something out of a Mozart Italian opera before he settles into the second subject in E Major with some wonderfully misplaced accents. The exposition repeats. At 3:20 he opens his development in C Major before turning to a darker A minor. At 4:00 he recaps with everything in the correct keys, and he ends it in a quiet, sneaky manner.
The second movement, marked “andante piu tosto allegretto”, in 2/4, isn’t all that slow. This movement in A minor is one of the heartfelt early Beethoven slow movements.
The finale in A Major and 3/4 time is marked “allegro piacevole”, which means “quick and pleasant”. From the returns of the first theme, you can tell this is a rondo.
This video is from a student recital at the Curtis School of Music in Philadelphia earlier this year. Keep your eye out for these two ladies in the future.
Tomorrow night it’s the third sonata of the Opus 12 set.
