Aux...

There are some days when it’s a non-issue and others when it feels like a life-and-death situation. On the days when competition is fierce, there is no room for error.

A song with a “mid” beginning will get criticized immediately, then the argument is to “wait…it gets better”…and typically at the point the “aux” is forfeited.

Tough crowd!

One of the kids made the point that most of his songs are sad…I was a little surprised, but asked why….he didn’t really know so he simply said, “I just like sad songs.”

Fair enough!

For some people sad songs are easier to relate to or sad songs might evoke feelings of nostalgia or even offer space for reflection. 

Personally, I like “happy” songs….in fact, the song “Happy” by Pharrell Williams is in my head as I write.

But life is not always happy. In fact, as we head into this Holiday Season, happiness might seem like an unattainable dream.

Happiness and sadness are a part of life. There are some days, seasons, and even years when we experience sadness and then other times when we are happy.

On the other hand, peace is available 24/7, 365 days out of the year.

This Sunday, we continue our Advent series through the Psalms of Asaph with a study of Psalm 74. This is a “sad song” it’s a lament and it carries some strong feelings. It also offers incredible hope and the promise of peace in spite of circumstances.

So, whether I get the “Aux” any time soon or not, I have been encouraged by the peace offered in Psalm 74…and that lasts forever. There is much more to share on Sunday, including some updates about our building project.

I hope to see you at 8:00, 9:15 (Full KidCity available), or 10:45 am (Full KidCity available), or you can watch the Livestream on YouTube (Like and Subscribe) or Facebook at 9:15 am. Additionally, we are also publishing our sermons on Spotify.

Have a great weekend and enjoy some good music,

Troy
