JOHN
Good Morning! I’m John Branning the Lead Pastor of Central United Methodist Church.
The names of Gilbert and Sullivan are well known by all lovers of music. They produced 14 operas together in the period from 1871 to 1896. Gilbert was the word smith while Sullivan was the magic behind the music. The tragedy, however, is that the two men detested each other. The problem arose because Sullivan ordered some carpet for the theater they had bought, and when Gilbert saw the bill, he hit the roof. Neither could control his temper, and the two battled it out in court.
They never spoke to one another again as long as they lived. Once they were forced to be together during a curtain call, but they stood on opposite sides of the stage and bowed in different directions so they would not see each other.
They knew how to make beautiful music, but they knew nothing of harmony! The Bible teaches us to be in loving relationships with each other and live each day with a heart full of forgiveness. Let us try harder to get along today.
