I was listening to music from the 60’s and heard a song that I use to play all the time. It had harmonies that I still like. It also reminded me when I was in high school.

We look around in this world to find harmonies. Things that go together perfectly, a beautiful sunset with all the colors of the clouds or a babbling brook set in green mountains. With the chaos of our lives, harmony brings peace to our soul. We hear the sounds of children playing in the park and see them running around. There is harmony there. Or we see the bliss of young love or of old love as an older couple walking side by side holding hands. There are many ways to find harmony in our lives. But it seems that the harmony does not last. It is a temporary thing that comes and goes. Until I was 28 years old, I looked for this harmony or peace in my life. I looked everywhere and almost became an alcoholic because of it.

Some friends introduced me to a harmony or peace that I thought I would never have. When I found that peace, I knew that I had found what I was looking for. It is funny how that works. When you find something real, you know it. The only harmony that was lasting was centered around one person and that of Jesus Christ. He said, Peace or harmony I give you, not as the world gives. When I accepted the gift that Jesus offered me, I accepted peace in my life. I found a peace or harmony that passes all understanding.

Below is a link to the song I was listening to. Enjoy the music. It is a blast from the past.

In the past couple of blogs, I have put forth a riddle to be solved. Several people have answered that riddle, but only one actually guessed it. Here is the riddle again:

What is the same and is constantly changing? And why?

I answered the why, but now for the riddle. The same or constant is change. And the changeable thing is Mankind. Through our lives and the bible, we see the changes that occur in our lives. We are always changing, for the good or bad. Sometimes, we just get stuck in the change and do not know how to fix it.

I have only found one way to fix my bad decisions. And that is in Jesus Christ. There is no other way. We will try to find other way that seems to work for a while. But in the end, we find that it was just another bad decision. Jesus is the only. He will forgive us and help us to live the right way. Then when our life is over, we get to go home to heaven.

I hope you had fun with the riddle. I will see you next time.

The answer is in the riddle. The same or constant is change.

One person got the answer. So, I am giving you another to figure it out. Thanks for playing along.
