Last Saturday I went to Cello Christmas 2019 hosted by super-teacher Mary Beth Tyndall. About 40 cellists playing Christmas tunes, a scroll decorating contest, and lots of smiles.
John Calvin: music is “a gift of God”
“…among the other things which are appropriate to recreate man and give him desire, music is either the first or on the the chief ones, and we must deem it to be a gift of God intended for this use.”
From a letter he wrote about worship.
I read Music, Singing, and Emotions: Exploring the Connections in Themelios. What a great essay.
Someone should write a Christmas carol based on Rev 21:16 and call it Angles from the Realms of Glory.

🦃 My daughter loves to choreograph, my son has a lot of energy, and we’re all thankful for the turkey. Happy Thanksgiving!
📚 Looking forward to reading @manton’s forthcoming book, Indie Microblogging.

🧺 Beautiful day for a picnic! We had a relaxing time and got to meet some more of our great neighbors.
📚 Read: about Aquinas on emotions. Excellent…and fascinating.
⛪️ Great sermons yesterday at Covenant. Listen to Phil Kruis’s exhortation from 1 Timothy to godliness and contentment, and Paul Johnson contrast the kingdom of Christ with the kingdoms of this world from the book of Esther.
📚 Members of my church are sharing books with each another through Inventaire. The UI could use some attention, but overall it’s working well.
