This last workweek I told a local friend that I was really missing my guitar .
I ’m a good guitar player . Not awe-inspiring , but quite competent .
More than that , I love to represent . I ’ll spend an hour now and again writing a Song dynasty or figure out how to play birdcall I like and it ’s a pleasant fourth dimension . medicine is a wonderful thing .
Yet when I moved , I left my guitar behind .
The grounds ? We needed to fetch the children ’s textbook with us .
If it ’s a choice between one of my hobbies and the children ’s education … well …
… it was a hard choice , but I had to go with the kid ’s education . There just was n’t enough baggage weight allowed for me to bring everything I wanted to bring .
I take care for a decent guitar topically and was tell by someone to check out a local importer of band musical instrument and electronics .
So I did .
What I found was depressing . Multiple guitars were for sales agreement , but they were Chinese rubble at unconscionable price . I tried playing a few of them but the fret embark on hum and clucking as I moved up the neck opening … and the damage !
No way I ’d spend money on a guitar that does n’t even play worth a plugged nickel .
So I shared this with my friend and he told me of a pawn shop about 25 minutes from our position where I might look .
There I found an inexpensive but well - constructed electric guitar .
$ 120USD and it was mine .
I was bring forth ready to go and then found something else : a small , waterproof Nikon open of shooting video on land and underwater . Another $ 80 and that was mine as well .
I ’d been looking for one , as the rainy season is NOT undecomposed for the rather expensive Canon 70D I use for all my television . My YouTube channel has take off to a point where the advertizement tax income now bear my split , so dropping $ 80 on a used camera is a no - brainer . Heck , even the guitar will be pressed into service for my canal as a spate of my picture contain original music .
Even though I am a evildoer and deserve nothing from Heaven , God still smile on His children and takes tutelage of not just our pauperism , but sometimes also covers our “ wants ” as well .
Thank you , Father – much appreciated !
revel the Lord ’s Day and I ’ll see you all tomorrow .
( BTW , if you could pick up wild shredding all the style from your location , it ’s because I ’ve crank up the guitar this weekend . )

“ The king shall have delight in Your military posture , OLord;And in Your redemption how greatly shall he rejoice!You have given him his affection ’s desire , And have not withheld the request of his lips . Selah
For You meet him with the blessings of goodness;You set a crown of unadulterated Au upon his head . He ask life history from You , and You hand it to him — Length of days forever and ever . His glory is great in Your salvation;Honor and majesty You have position upon him . For You have made him most blessed forever;You have made him exceedingly glad with Your mien . For the king confide in theLord , And through the mercy of the Most gamy he shall not be moved .
Your hand will find all Your enemies;Your right hand will regain those who hate You . You shall make them as a fiery oven in the time of Your anger;TheLordshall swallow them up in His wrath , And the blast shall devour them . Their offspring You shall destroy from the dry land , And their descendent from among the sons of men . For they intended iniquity against You;They devised a plot of land which they are not able-bodied to do . Therefore You will make them grow their back;You will make quick Your arrows on Your string toward their faces .
Be proclaim , OLord , in Your own strength!We will sing and praise Your magnate . ”
-Psalm 21,NJKV
