LUKE 15:8-10

"Or suppose a woman has ten silver coins and loses one. Does she not light a lamp, sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it? And when she finds it, she calls her friends and neighbors together and says, 'Rejoice with me; I have found my lost coin.' In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents."

A little music for your searh!

That’s a lot of sweeping.

[Hebrews 11:6]

I FOUND IT!

1976 Campus Crusade for Christ reference. Mention Jimmy at your own peril. BTW, I listened to that piece in its entirety, for the first and last time.

[left that other site]

LOL.

[left that other site]

Who is “Jimmy” (whom I mention at my own peril)?

I found it too, at an A of G 40 years ago. :-)

[Hebrews 11:6]

1976 Jimmy—Rosalyn, BillyBeer, Misery Index

[left that other site]

Oh...THAT Jimmy. Battler of Ferocious Rabbits and double-digit inflation gas-line-hostage-guy.

That guy actually DELAYED my coming to Christ because his hypocritical rhetoric about being “Born Again” totally turned me off to the concept. I came to the Lord in 1981, after having voted in 1980 for a Republican for the first time in my life.

It’s spelled “JIMMUH”.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Cheryl and my daughters met the Carters briefly at a book-signing in Pasadena.

I met a member of Led Zeppelin once.

[Hebrews 11:6]

And lived to tell about it.

[left that other site]

Yep! :-)

[Irenic]

4,7,8,12,20,25 were the ones I enjoyed the most. Thanks for posting 🙂

[Hebrews 11:6]

Glad you found six worth singling out. It’s nice to hear from you again.

[BenLurkin]

Bump to the top

[ConorMacNessa]

Thanks very much for the quotidian embarrassment of riches, Dan!

"Dia shábháil ar fad anseo!"

"God save all here!"

[Forgiven_Sinner]

I’ve heard snatches of that theme over the years, but this was the first time I listened to it in its entirety. Very good, as always by Beethoven.

[Forgiven_Sinner]

A little bit of commentary I’ve read over the years: The ten coins are likely the women’s dowery to be used as her retirement income in case her husband dies.

Just imagine losing 10% of your retirement. That would certainly motivate you to search very diligently.

But God searches more diligently for the lost. See the next parable.

[left that other site]

On Compilation CDs, they usually only include an excerpt, so they can get a lot of pieces onto the disc. Another piece that is almost always excerpted is Moonlight Sonata. There are several repeats in the original, and it’s followed by two other movements.

I love Beethoven, and thought instantly of the “Rage Over a Lost Penny” when reading today’s Parable. :-)

[Hebrews 11:6]

Hi, Ben!
