“This world is not my home I’m just a passin’ thru”… are the words to the first song my papaw taught me to play on the piano when I was about 12 years old. I came from a family who had a tradition of playing gospel music on many Saturday nights just for fun and fellowship. I never thought much about it then, but now realize that those moments and the messages in the songs we sang have shaped and at times directed my life to this day.
We are all on a journey of the soul. This journey is custom designed for each one of us. As we travel, God is teaching and growing us in preparation of the day we will come face to face with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and be changed into His likeness once and for all.
The older I get, the stranger this world becomes and the more I look forward to heaven. I pray as you listen to this recording you will be encouraged by the Holy Spirit to press on and keep your mind focused on things eternal. Look up my brothers and sisters…… “Canaanland is just in sight!”
