Music Appreciation
I am not a musician, but as I write this I think bade and realize how my taste In mute
has changed. Early in life, it took only the simplest childhood jingles to please me, then
in school I was trained and taught to appreciate more intricate music. AH through life I
feel that my knowledge of... and appreciation for musk has grown and matured.
Through study and help from others, I have also grown as a Christian and have a better
appreciation of my Lord.
My knowledge of, and love for God increases with each church worship service.—mm
This way of life and worship, I would recommend to anyone. Won’t you try it m Start
by attending church this Sunday.,
Up!
