From the Choir Loft

We have officially begun our Easter cantata season. We are having chorus rehearsals every Tuesday and Thursday evenings at 7:00 PM at Sheridan United Methodist Church. We will present the wonderful, new Easter musical: ‘The Sacrifice’ by Steve Moore & David T. Clydesdale. In this musical, the audience worships with the choir, while the lyrics, visuals and filmed characters from the Bible appear on screen to enhance this powerful audio/visual experience. We need you and your friends.


Cherokee "rite of passage"


Do you know the legend of the Cherokee Indian youth's "rite of passage?"


The youth’s father takes him into the forest blindfolded and leaves him alone. He is required to sit on a stump the whole night and not take off the blindfold until the light of the sunrise shines through it. He is all by himself. He cannot cry out for help to anyone. Once he survives the night, he is a "MAN." He cannot tell the other boys of this experience. Each lad must come into his own manhood.
The boy in our story was, naturally, terrified. He could hear all kinds of noise. Beasts were all around him. Maybe even a human would hurt him. The wind blew the grass and earth and it shook his stump. But he sat stoically, never removing the blindfold. It would be the only way he could be a man.
Finally, after a horrific night the sun appeared and he removed his blindfold. It was then that he saw his father sitting on the stump next to him - at watch the entire night.


Our heavenly Father promised us: "I will never fail you. I will never abandon you." (Hebrews 13:5)



Today’s thought:


"If God takes you to it, He'll lead you through it."

Diary of a snowshoveler

Day 12...20 more inches of the slop tonight. Snowed in! The idea of shoveling makes my blood boil. I hate the snow! Then the snowplow driver came by asking for a donation and I hit him over the head with my shovel. The wife says I have a bad attitude. I think she's a fricking idiot. If I have to watch "American Idol" one more time, I'm going to stuff her into the microwave.
Day 13...Still snowed in. Why the heck did I ever move here? It was all HER idea. She's really getting on my nerves.
Day 14...Temperature dropped to -30 and the pipes froze. The plumber came after 14 hours of waiting for him, he only charged me $1,400 to replace my pipes.
Day 15...Warmed up to -20. Still snowed in. THE WITCH is driving me crazy!!!
(Conclusion tomorrow...)
