Music

I have been blessed in recent years to serve through music.  In my youth, I played technically and competitively and mostly without the Lord in mind.  Primarily oboe and a little piano back then.  Then my oboe sat on the shelf for a long time.  In these more recent years, as I sensed the Lord calling me to dust off the horn, I've asked Him to be my teacher in all kinds of ways.  Though not a polished musician, I've been blessed to see the Lord bring together new aspects of oboe, piano, voice, and a tiny bit of flute.  As He has introduced me to new music, I have been immensely blessed to meet and worship with people in churches, coffeehouses, hospitals, jails, and the streets.  Isaiah 61, especially in its first verses, has been an inspiration.
