Pausing With God

W hen I think of unconditional love I am reninded of John 3:16: For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son,  that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish,  but have everlasting life.

The piano is a widely recognized instrument for its beautiful sound.  Each key has a different range, from soft to strong.  One would think the greater the force, the louder the sound. Actually, it’s not the applied pressure that determines the volume, but the speed with which the keys are depressed.  In addition, relaxed hands tend to give you more control and produce a better sound.

I have dispelled the myth that you cannot study this instrument while sitting on the couch.
