From some of the team

Our youngest cat disappeared for a couple days, we would call him, went looking for him, no luck. We had just about given up hope! I had been draining the hot tub, and had a side panel off, it started to rain one afternoon, so I put the panel back on to keep the rain out. Well, I was sitting on the deck one morning, and heard a scratching noise, this particular cat has never meowed or anything. So I opened up one corner of the hot tub, lo and behold, guess what sprung out, yep, Mr. Kitty.

I think we can be like that cat sometimes, God is calling, but we're not making enough noise for him to hear us. Sure, when things get tough enough, and we're scratching and clawing to survive, we can get through to God, but he wants us to answer him, and listen for him, long before we get to that point. Amazing the lessons we can learn from such a simple thing!

Music is the same way. It has been years for you and your trombone days, but I'm sure you remember. Every piece of music is black and white, until a person adds character by performing it. The audience is waiting and watching to see what will become of this performer and piece. That's why music is so incredible and emotional. Each day is different when you pick up your instrument. The music is there, the spirit is there, but we must run with it, take a chance. Will the music glow and flow, or will it fall apart and become another piece of music in the library. Passion will make anything sparkle, and Craig has a passionate team with him at South Point.
