Back to work…
I guess I’d better post something today…people are watching…and getting tired of seeing the same old stuff up here!
I guess one thing I can definitely say today is “Thank God for gospel music!” In a world where events, weather, and people all tend to be unpredictable and unreliable, it’s nice to be able to put that needle on an LP or pop that CD into the player and know that what comes out is an unqualified blessing, inspired by God to inspire me! And that it invariably does!
I’ve been listening to a couple of older albums this week in particular that I have on CD…and they once again proved their worth to me as companions and strongholds. It may never have occurred to the Rebels Quartet when they made their “Peace In The Valley” album back in 1958, or the Couriers Quartet when they made “In Town Tonight” back in 1960 that their relatively humble album offerings would be used to bless and encourage someone over forty years after they were made, but indeed they were…and I am proof of that!
To hear the Rebels sing their spare but moving arrangements of “Peace In The Valley”, “I’m Bound For That City”, and “My God Is Real” is an experience not just for the ears, but for the heart. Likewise for the Couriers’ versions of “Room At The Cross”, “Savior, Gently Take Me Home”, “In The Cool Of Evening”, and “An Evening Prayer”…there’s just something very moving and special about a male quartet uniting their voices in praise of and testimony to God. And no matter what may be going on in one’s life, there’s something about an inspired song that can motivate and inspire a person to hang in there and outlast whatever may be ailing them.
Is there any wonder why I would love gospel music so much? Not if you know me, and know what I have to deal with on an occasional basis.
