What Music Is Part of YOUR Worship and Faith?

Music is an integral part of faith life, from chants to negro spirituals to meditation... you get the idea.

It all seems to be related to four significant issues that are part of the human condition.
1. Dealing with the challenges of life and death:  Like "Swing Low Sweet Chariot"
2. Giving Praise and Thanksgiving: "How Great Thou Art"

3. Appreciating His Presence:  The popular "I Am A Friend Of God"
4. Celebrating His Teachings: "Let There Be Peace on Earth and Let It Begin With Me"

How about YOU?  What are the types of music and songs that inspire YOU?
What is it that makes the music special?

Your turn...

Welcome to God In the Day to Day

How do you make it through the day to day stresses and the monumental challenges you face in your world?  This blog is dedicated to helping each other understand and appreciate how people around the world use faith as a way of striving and overcoming the barriers we all face. 



When you turn to God, your Creator or Higher Power, what do you say or think or feel?

What do your faith, readings or just personal experiences teach you about life?

What Next?
Please take a moment and comment about how your religious beliefs, whatever they may be, help you cope with daily life.  No condemnation here... those comments will be deleted as fast as I get to them.

Tell us your story - - maybe it will help someone or help others understand the faiths that are out there in the world.

Thank you and God bless you everyone.
