What we brought to church:
A 2-disc recording of Handel’s Messiah, Neville Mariner conducting (to lend to a young couple looking for recommendations on which Messiah to purchase)
What we brought home:
December 19th issue of World magazine (passed to us after original recipients are finished)
Franck’s The Complete Masterworks for Organ and Composers in Person CD with four French organists playing their own works on organ, mostly in the 1930s. The composers are Charles-Marie Widor, Olivier Messiaen, Marcel Dupré and Louis Vierne. (unsolicited loan of organ CDs to help my education in organ music along – imagine! Last week I’d never heard of Marcel Dupré and now I’m listening to a recording of him!)
Compilation of blues music (solicited loan to help my education in the blues along – favorite so far: I Want Jesus Over Me)
A box of Henty and Landmark books (returned to us after loan last summer)
Quote to ponder: “We chew many pills God intended us to swallow.”
Gladdened hearts.
A Living Pencil 
…..just as we pass up many of the gifts He offers us, as well. How do you spell “stubborn” again? 🙂 I like this quote!
