yeah...it says I’m 50’s too. I really think I am more 60’s than 50’s though.

In taking the quiz I realized that the quality of popular music has declined greatly over the past several decades. None of the singers today could even sing songs like Over the Rainbow, One for my Baby and One More for the Road or You've Lost that Loving Feeling without embarrassing themselves.
They listed the current entertainers. I have heard them. I have kids and younger friends. I realized how untalented they are compared to artists of a few years ago.
Recently I heard Judy Collins sing Someday Soon. There are no singers today with her talent. I heard a CD of Stevie Ray Vaughn. No one can play guitar that well today. There is no one around today as good as there was before.

You Are in Your Musical 60s |
You love music for what it says as well as for how it sounds. You are big on music with a deeper meaning. For you, there is little better than a talented singer-songwriter. And you always listen to the lyrics for every song.
You are open to today's music as long as it comes from a genuine place. You don't like mass marketed music. You believe that every artist needs a strong voice. Generic music doesn't appeal to you at all! |

Life-Giving Rain
August 13, 2014
Read: Acts 6:1-10
During the August heat of 1891, R. G. Dyrenforth arrived in Midland, Texas, determined to blast rain from the sky. Known as a concussionist, he and his team launched and detonated huge balloons filled with explosive gases, fired cannons, and exploded piles of dynamite on the groundshaking both earth and sky. Some believed he made it rain a little, but most said all he caused was noise. The explosive power was impressive but ineffective.
When the early church needed overseers, they sought people with a different kind of power. They chose seven men of good reputation, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom (Acts 6:3) to manage the daily distribution of food. One of those was Stephen, a man full of faith and power, [who] did great wonders and signs among the people (v.8). When disputes arose, those who argued with Stephen were not able to resist the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spoke (v.10).
The Bible makes it clear that Stephens spiritual effectiveness came from being filled with the Holy Spirit, who gave him the right balance of faith, wisdom, and power.
Gods Spirit in our lives today replaces the loud noise of self-interest with His gentle, life-giving rain.
Holy Spirit, I want my life to be marked
by Your power. May my words and actions
give life-giving rain to encourage others
to know You and trust You.
In our life for Christ we accomplish nothing without the power of the Spirit.
Todays text not only highlights the source of the power with which the Christian worksthe Holy Spirit (v.5)but also our responsibility in relation to that powerfaith (vv.5,8). Stephen was a man known to be full of both.

Good choice! I’d be shocked if you didn’t choose Bach for the answer to your first question. :)

I had a surprise last night. I watched a PBS documentary about Jimmy van Heusen. I knew a lot of the songs he wrote with various lyricists and how he ended his career in a musical partnership with Sammy Cahn. What I didnt know until last night was that he and Sammy wrote this song.
I always liked this tune because it opened a window into what a 1920's recording would have sounded like had it been recorded on modern equipment. I also found the lyrics to be wonderfully funny. Anyone who can turn Sodom-and-Gomorrah into an adjective has my undying admiration.

Thank you, Rus, for another beautiful lesson from God’s Word!
After living through a drought here in the MIDLAND/Odessa area these past few years, I can understand the parallel the writer was trying to make! We understand “bone dry”!
....and how God waters and gives the increase, if we’ll only have patience.
