May Day - May 1: as a traditional spring festival, often celebrated by dancing, crowning a May queen, etc.; as an international labor holiday, observed in many countries by parades, demonstrations, etc. [Webster's New World Dictionary]
But for the Bernhardt family, the first day of May this year provided an opportunity for some outside work, including a much-needed mowing of the lawn that had thrived on the torrential April rains of the last few weeks. The barn stalls were cleaned, in preparation for some interested goat buyers who will visit within the next few days.
Yours truly is continuing to take delight in organ music. I am now working on Johann S. Bach's Organ Sonata No. 1 in E-flat Major. Within the last week, I found THIS video of Paul Jacobs playing the Crystal Cathedral organ. He is not playing the piece I am working on, but it is a movement from a J. S. Bach cantata. Enjoy!
ECCENTRIC: "deviating from the majority." In a society in which the "norm" is explicitly anti-Christian, Christ calls His saints to live in conformity to His standards. If Christians want to make a difference, they need to be different. It is my desire to take a stance of victory and perseverance in the gospel of Christ and His justifying work on Calvary. Enjoy this blog: you will read about all things musical, farm life, and many other miscellaneous thoughts and observations.
Jacob Timothy Bernhardt
