If you are called upon to play a church service, it is a greater honor than if you were to play a concert on the finest organ in the world... Thank God each time when you are privileged to sit before the organ console and assist in the worship of the Almighty.
Albert Schweitzer
Image
I have always held firmly to the thought that each one of us can do a little to bring some portion of misery to an end.
