When you want peace from the stress of life, if you can play
your own instrument. . .or sing a power song. . .or create your own surround
sound, that's a bonus.
I enjoy pleasurable memories of my mother playing
"Moonlight Sonata" or one of many other classics she mostly played by
ear on her antique upright piano.

| Singer Pam Thum |
Pam Thum told interviewer Camerin J. Courtney in Today's
Christian Woman that she was raised by traveling evangelist parents. They
produced dramas for the road.
"But moving around every month or so was really hard.
We'd pull into a new town and I'd go up to the kids and say, 'Hi, my name's
Pam. Want to be my best friend for four weeks?"
She'd find some pals, then cry when they left town.
"I was a happy, bubbly kid on the outside, but deep
inside I was lonely. With friends constantly ripped from me, I became fearful
of goodbyes."
She found peace in her music, in helping her fans not to
feel so lonely through her songs.
Paul and Silas in prison
Charged with disturbing the peace, the magistrates ordered
Paul and Silas to be stripped, beaten, flogged and tossed in jail (Acts 16).
Talk about a very bad, no good day.
But instead of griping or cursing or wailing, Paul and Silas
sang hymns. That got the ground to quake so hard, the prison rumbled, the doors
flew open, and chains broke loose. Tossed like dirty, bloody mops into a moldy
cellar, this pair praised God. Then, they refused to escape when they had a
chance, on account of maybe saving some soul. In this case, the jailer's and
all his household.
Their peace when they got an unfair shaft changed a whole
family's eternal destiny.
How about trying to create music during your next torment
that seems like a prison and see what happens? For you. For your circumstance. For those around you. You
never know. You might walk out healed and free. And take some others with you.
