Symphonies

There is a story about a five year old boy who loved the piano.

Although he'd never had lessons or any kind of formal training, anytime he got a chance, he would sit down and play it.

He was often told that he was too small, too young to play the piano. But despite those comments, he continued to practice and practice.

In time, the only song he knew how to play was "chopsticks".

Just a very simple tune. But he played it again and again.

One day, his father surprised him. He purchased tickets for them to go to the symphony and hear a world-renowned Italian pianist -- one of the greatest piano players alive.

As they were walking to their seats there in the auditorium, the little boy saw the beautiful grand piano behind the curtain. While no one noticed, he snuck over and sat down on the piano bench and began to play his childlike version of chopsticks.

About that time, the curtain began to rise. Even though everyone thought they were going to see this world famous master pianist, they instead saw a little boy hunched over the piano playing "chopsticks".

He was so caught up in his world, he didn't know anybody was watching. When he realized what was happening, he was nervestruck.

Then, just as he was about to get up and run offstage, he felt two big arms reaching around him with the hands landing on the piano keys.

It was the master pianist.

And as the little boy continued to play his simple rendition of "chopsticks", this world renown pianist began to play a Beethoven symphony piece that was scored in the same cadence and the same key.

Under the direction of the master, he brought the rest of the orchestra in.

First he brought in the woodwinds, then the brass, then the percussion.

The boy's father sat there with tears coming down his cheeks.

He couldn't believe what he was hearing.

He never dreamed that simple tune that he heard in his living room each day would no longer sound like "chopsticks", but now it would become a full, beautifully orchestrated, Beethoven symphony.

What was the difference?

The Master stepped in.

These blog posts are of, by and for you -- that scared, lonely child who at one time or another may have felt like you didn't have the talent, the wisdom, the know-how, in fact the worthiness, to be worthy of the presence of the Master.

They're also about the what happens when your fingers combine with our Elder Brother's, and the exquisitely beautiful symphony that will chime in, at just the right times, that will leave you not only awestruck, but also able to personally testify that the Master indeed lives.

For your natural abilities, combined with his super abilities, can and will bring about supernatural wonders in our lives.
