BOB Good Morning! This is Bob Peden of Central a United Methodist Community here in Meridian. The gift of song is wonderful. It has sustained Christians under trial and persecution from the earliest days of the church until this very day. Long ago, the apostle Paul and his companion, Silas, were praying and singing hymns to God at midnight in Philippi. They had been beaten, thrown into jail, and placed in stocks. But, pain, threat, and persecution could not silence their voices nor interrupt their praise and prayer. They would allow nothing to keep them from singing praises to their God! So, like Paul and Silas, wherever you are and whatever you face, remember your God and celebrate your faith in him through song. No matter what has you in its grip, remember that the Father's grip is stronger and that he will carry you home. At Central our intention is just to keep on singing the praises of the holy one. You too, can join the song.
