The pastor played this video during the service this morning to demonstrate how music unites us in a supernatural way. (He was preaching from Revelation 4-5, describing Songs of Praise and our role in them.)
I have to admit, I've always thought of music as one of those things that make no sense from an evolutionary point-of-view. What advantage to survival of the species could it possibly display?
This isn't a leap for me; I've always viewed mathematics as proof of a Divine Engineer, and given the mathematical basis for much of music, it follows easily enough. Anyway, the world got a bit smaller for me this morning...

Eternal Perspective
Maybe it's simply a practical solution for collecting the offering on the way out when the service is running long, but I like to think there's a message communicated in the choice of receptical.
Paul reminds us in Philippians 3:8 that all things are 'rubbish' compared to knowing Jesus, and the truth is I'm not taking anything with me when I finally go to my real home.
I appreciate the reminder that money and financial blessing can 'trash' up my heart and life if I ever put it at greater value than Jesus and His people.
