"Good" songs make me ache to "preach" and fill the holes. "Bad" songs make me want to run screaming from the room. I hear more "gospel" in certain secular songs than in the whole Baptist Hymnal song-by-song.
When it's a good "christian" song, I think of Php_1:18 What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.
Whatever the source, I think of:
Act 17:27 That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:
Act 17:28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets (and songwriters) have said, For we are also his offspring.
Here's one like that, to my mind. Maybe it will be on the playlist. :D

Good morning Dave,
I like George Harrison's muscic better than the other Beetles actually, My Sweet Lord was a great
Singalong Song for everyone, The travelling Willbury's , and especially Roy Orbison. I've
been around many campfires with people who played guitars 🎸 and loved to sing.
My dad loved the old country songs and played harmonica.When I was little I had a
little record player , it played those little 50 size records.I would sit on the edge of an open
window overlooking the ocean in Newfoundland and escape from the dysfunction of our family.
You seem to have a real Passion in you for preaching and song. The Gospel is all beautiful music to the ear , I think your going to make a great preacher when God is finished His work in you.
He has You and everyone else right where He wants us, His way or No way and we are all marching
to one tune. I would love to hear you preach, just don't leave me smouldering in ruins haha!
Psalm 37:4. "
Delight thyself in the Lord and He shall give thee the disires of thine heart."
Thank you for the song........Peace. ❤️Pamela
PS. This is another beautiful song,,, The Promise by Tracy Chapman

I'm thinking harder about preparing my own funeral. I'd like one last time to present the gospel and a comforting (not silly or scary) word about death. I don't know if it's wise or foolish, obedience or cowardice. It's one of those things I may not know until I do it. Or don't.

One thing for sure is if you do it's of God, if you don't it's of God. I know you know that, but sometimes it's the only thing I have to fall back on when I wonder about stuff.
Speaking of songs, couldn't help but to hear that song in my head by The Byrds "Turn! Turn! Turn!". :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4ga_M5Zdn4
Ecc 3:17 I said in my heart:As for the righteous and the wicked, the One, Elohim, shall judge both of them. For He has set a season for every event and for every deed.
Rom 8:28 Now we are aware that God is working all together for the good of those who are loving God, who are called according to the purpose
Is it something that needs to be burned up? Or something that needs to be refined and made better? I usually don't know either till after the fact.
Good stuff Dave and all.
Dave in Tenn:
There's a good word for all who fear to fail, Porter.
And, yeah, that one needs to go on the playlist...assuming there is one. ;D

Promise is a great song, Pamela. I'd never heard it before. Why did I cry like a little girl?
