This morning I had the privilege of singing an offertory solo in church - "How Can I Keep From Singing", which includes the chorus, "No storm can shake my inmost calm, while to that rock I'm clinging. It sounds an echo in my soul. How can I keep from singing?". As I was reading over the words, it occurred to me that my soul has every reason in this world to sing all the time. I live in an amazingly beautiful place in an even more beautiful country. I am surrounded by flowers and beaches and year-round sunshine, and have easy access to other types of scenery, land forms, and weather. Also surrounding me are loving, caring people - my family, friends, church family, co-workers, people I've known my whole life and those I've known for only a short time. But, more than any of that, I have a God who loves me and Lord and Savior who said, "I am with you ALWAYS" and died for me. God, the Rock to whom I cling, is the one who makes is impossible for me to keep from singing.
