THE GREAT AMERICAN SONGBOOK
HAROLD ARLEN
STAR SPANGLED RHYTHM
There are advantages to freelance work because Harold and Johnny Mercer could now move to Paramount. By early 1942, the movie industry was gearing up for war. As a result, war-related films were ground out regularly, as were all-star musical revues, of which this was one.
HIT THE ROAD TO DREAMLAND
Tonight is dedicated to a song that has achieved immortality in a variety of interpretations.
Betty had a checkered career, starting in film on the 1940s and even having her own brief TV situation comedy in the 1950s. The checkers came from her substance abuse issues. She was on and off the wagon, even seeking residence in a convent, not as a nun, but because she was free of drugs in that tightly structured environment. This is from 1956 and regained popularity when it was used in the movie soundtrack of L.A. Confidential in 1997.

June 8Knocking Down Pins
What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again. Ecclesiastes 1:9
I was intrigued when I noticed a tattoo of a bowling ball knocking down pins on my friend Erins ankle. Erin was inspired to get this unique tattoo after listening to Sara Grovess song, Setting Up the Pins. The clever lyrics encourage listeners to find joy in the repetitive, routine tasks that sometimes feel as pointless as manually setting up bowling pins over and over again, only to have someone knock them down.
Laundry. Cooking. Mowing the lawn. Life seems full of tasks that, once completed, have to be done againand again. This isnt a new struggle but an old frustration, one wrestled with in the Old Testament book of Ecclesiastes. The book opens with the writer complaining about the endless cycles of daily human life as futile (1:23), even meaningless, because what has been will be again, what has been done will be done again (v. 9).
Yet, like my friend, the writer was able to regain a sense of joy and meaning by remembering our ultimate fulfillment comes as we fear [reverence] God and keep his commandments (12:13). Theres comfort in knowing that God values even the ordinary, seemingly mundane aspects of life and will reward our faithfulness (v. 14).
What are the pins youre continually setting up? In those times when repetitive tasks begin to feel tiring, may we take a moment to offer each task to God as an offering of love.
By Lisa M. Samra
Reflect & Pray
How might you do a task differently today knowing God values it? How does knowing this bring meaning to the mundane?
Heavenly Father, thank You for giving value to the ordinary activities of life. Help us to find joy in the tasks before us today.

Howdy, PRO.
Have a good week? Any fun plans for the weekend?
We’re finally getting a little rain after a long dry spell. Just in time, too, because the corn wasn’t happy.
