Remarks
This page will be used for a host of things from editorial comment to plugging
Christian organizations. I will put in short story's, poems, etc. as I
see fitting, and as they are supplied to me.
New URL (Web address)
Since you are here, you either are already aware that Questa First Baptist
Church has a new URL, or you were were transported here from the old one.
The account is in the church's name, now, rather than mine. Please book
mark the new URL and delete the old one. The new URL is: http//:laplaza.org/~qfbc/QuestaBaptist/.
The new address should be easier to type in now, it is one letter shorter.
I
found this in my E-mail. I thought it would be good for Valentine's day.
God does love us!

Wishing to encourage her young son's progress on the piano, a mother
took
her boy to a Paderewski concert. After they were seated, the mother
spotted
a friend in the audience and walked down the aisle to greet her.
Seizing the opportunity to explore the wonders of the concert hall, the
little
boy rose and eventually explored his way through a door marked "NO ADMITTANCE."
When the house lights dimmed and the concert was about to begin, the mother
returned to her seat and discovered that the child was missing.
Suddenly, the curtains parted and spotlights focused on the impressive
Steinway
on stage. In horror, the mother saw her little boy sitting at the
keyboard,
innocently picking out "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star."
At that moment, the great piano master made his entrance, quickly
moved
to the piano, and whispered in he boy's ear, "Don't quit. Keep
playing."
Then leaning over, Paderewski reached down with his left hand and began
filling in a bass part. Soon his right arm reached around to the
other side of the child and he added a running obbligato. Together,
the old master and the young novice transformed a frightening situation
into a
wonderfully
creative experience.
The audience was mesmerized. That's the way it is with God.
What we
can
accomplish on our own is hardly noteworthy. We try our best, but
the
results
aren't exactly graceful flowing music. But with the hand of the
Master,
our life's work truly can be beautiful.
Next time you set out to accomplish great feats, listen carefully. You
can
hear the voice of the Master, whispering in your ear, "Don't quit.
Keep
playing." Feel His loving arms around you. Know that His strong
hands
are there helping you turn your feeble attempts into true masterpieces.
Remember that God doesn't call the equipped, He equips the called.
And
He'll always be there to love and guide you on to great things.
