MUSIC MOVES ME

Tuesday, September 26, 2006

I like these words from writer, Ken Gire:

Music moves me in ways I can’t quite explain.

No theological study about heaven ever made me long for it more than “Somewhere Over the rainbow,” sung by Judy Garland. And when I heard Eva Cassidy’s renditions recently, the longing became even more intense.

No book about how to have a good marriage made me long for it as much as “The Prayer,” sung by Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli.

No sermon ever stirred my longing for Christ as much as the aria “Nessun dorma,” sung by Luciano Pavarotti.

I TOO AM MOVED BY MUSIC. RIGHT NOW AS I TYPE I AM LISTENING TO GREAT MUSIC. WE NEED TO TURN OFF THE TELEVISION OCCASIONALLY AND LISTEN TO MUSIC—JUST LISTEN!
