Encourage Young Musicians

By Jean 3 Comments

In talking with Alice Adams the other day it got me thinking about my own musical journey and how special it is to both worship everyday and also to play for others. Alice shared with me how much they they are benefiting from the Worship Guitar Class program.

What caught my attention was when she mentioned that her kids play once a month with a Christian bluegrass group. I remembered that as a young player I used to play once a month at hootenannies. These were casual musical evenings in private homes.

Some of you are Pastors or lead Home Groups. Keep your eyes open for opportunities to invite younger musicians to lead worship. If you are a worship leaders, why not ask less experienced players to join you?

Delightful Dolphins

By Jean Leave a Comment

God has His fingerprints all over this world. Here is a delightful video of dolphins creating and playing with bubble rings.

Years ago I was playing music at a wedding in a ship on the open seas. A school of dolphins were spotted in the distance. One of the wedding guests asked the captain to go out to them, but he relied that they would come to us because dolphins just loved ships.

Sure enough, they came right to our ship and to our delight jumped gleefully around us. What a beautiful animal God has created!

One of my old guitar students, Sam – now Pastor Sam Adams, told me that sometimes dolphins would accompany him when he surfed. Sam told me that dolphins loved to swim right next to the surf boards and that you could easily reach out and touch them.

I guess you could say a dolphin is like a dog. Both are always happy to see you and love being around people.

Merry Christmas – 2008

By Jean Leave a Comment

Christmas Manger SceneWishing you all a very Merry Christmas. The birth of Christ was a unique time in history. Jesus emptied Himself to show us God’s Love. Can you imagine the Creator of the Universe entering the human race as a fragile dependent baby! He is coming back, but the next time it’s not going to be so discreet. No one will miss the second coming of Christ.

I took a Prespectives Class a few years ago and at the first class, the instructor for that week showed us his Bible with yellow highlights on every passage that pertained to all nations.

His Bible had yellow highlights on nearly every page. It was always God’s plan from the foundation of the world to redeem us back to Him. You were on His mind even before He created the world!

His Thoughts Outnumber The Sand

By Jean 1 Comment

Picture of the sand at the beachIn the last Worship Guitar Class Newsletter I mentioned my thoughts on Psalm 139:16-17:

“How precious are Your thoughts towards me, O God! How great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand”

Cheryl Perry sent me this photo and message:

Dear Jean,

I have received your email for a few years now and want to say how much I enjoy the scripture you included today with your mini testament. I too love the beach and have a great appreciation for it. Being a sister in Christ also,  I am part of a women’s group that shares what God has done for us and ways we can serve Him better.

I have made a ministry of using personal photos that I have taken and placing scripture with them. Here is the one that I used for today along with the scripture that you have brought to light. This photo however is of me at Wilmington Beach, NC taken by my husband.

God bless you and your ministry.
Cheryl D. Perry

Tami sent this fascinating email with the actual sand count in a teaspoon and an excellent gift idea:
