Following an exhilarating performance at New York’s Carnegie Hall, classical cellist Yo-Yo Ma went home, slept and woke the next day, still exhausted. He hailed a cab to take him to a hotel on the other side of Manhattan, then placed his cello, which was handcrafted in Vienna in 1733 and valued at $2.5 million, in the trunk of the taxi.
When he reached his destination, Ma paid the driver but forgot the cello. He realized what he had done after the cab had disappeared and began a desperate search for the missing instrument. Fortunately, he had the receipt with the cabby’s ID number. Before the day ended, the taxi was located in a garage in Queens with the priceless cello still in the trunk. Ma’s smile could not be contained as he spoke to reporters about the recovered cello. His evening performance in Brooklyn went on as planned.
Even more desperate than Yo-Yo Ma’s search for his priceless cello is the pursuit by God of the lost. If we are going to see souls saved and people reached with the gospel then we need to imitate his passion for priceless people gone astray.
There are people all around us that desperately desire the wonderful salvation you possess but these will never be reached until we take them the gospel.

That is my freedom! What is this searching in my life? What is this restlessness? What is this thirsting for something more? Jesus is all that I need.
Lately I read about the Philistines capturing the ark &… Read More....
I had a good last-time with Class A on Thursday. We played Jeopardy with a review of things we had studied. They make everything fun and hilarious!!! It’s hard to explain it – just little actions like J & M slapping the desk (part of the game) to answer at the exact same time. I can’t even remember the super-funny thing we were laughing about. It was so cute! So… Read More....
