In Tune With the Music, and in Tune With Life.

Can you remember the last song you listened to today...? 

What was it about, and how did it make you feel?  

       Everybody has a taste in music that is unique to their own personality.  And very similar to the taste buds on our tongue that are sensitive to food, our ears can pick up on the notes that are flying through the air.  "Music, in a very mysterious way, invigorates the body and stirs the soul...   The sweet sensations of sound can heal the broken heart, and lighten the weight of sorrow."  -Elder Harris-

So you're probably thinking that this post is all about music and how it influences us right?  Well...that wasn't quite the point I wanted to make.  I am an avid guitarist and could spend hours on end playing songs and enjoying the beauty of music.  I use a huge amount of my time strumming and experimenting with chord progressions that turn into the songs I love to play, but the most critical moment of making a song happens before I even start to play.  I have to give extra care and attention to the tuning of each of the strings individually before I can even start to play.

Now I want you to think about the way you start your day.  What sorts of things do you do to "tune your strings" before you walk out the door in the morning?  I am ever so amazed at the way our world operates in the way it does.  Everybody works in their own sphere of traits and qualities that compile our great nation.  When we take a moment to pause and "tune our strings", it gives us the chance to evaluate our lives and relationships.  The way I do this each day is by a humbe prayer to my God and Father in Heaven.

Mormon 9:37

"And may the Lord Jesus Christ grant that their prayers may be answered according to their faith; and may God the Father remember the covenant which he hath made with the house of Israel; and may he bless them forever, through faith on the name of Jesus Christ."
