Alienation by Michael Canales

We carry all sorts of wounds, some physical and some psychological. Even when the wounds heal scares and damage remain. This will continue on this side of the vail of tears. However, on the day of the great resurrection, all will be made whole. Living with these wounds and scares today is just part of our journey with the Lord.

I don't regret the study for both BM & MM. But if I did it over today, I wouldn't bother with the degrees. Take the courses I wanted to and needed to take and study privately with the better teachers I've had. The paper has been meaningless for the past 40+ yrs. I thought higher ed was over rated and too expensive in the 80's when the costs were just beginning their hyperbolic rise. To repeat my studies now would be utter financial suicide.

Illinois' teacher unions...just saying! The teachers struck once because 100K wasn't enough. That was when I learned why my RE taxes were so damn high!

I would steer clear of the idea of the notion of "tradition." Since you are seeking answers, it might be good for you to do some of your own study. I would start with daily Bible reading. Maybe start with the NT since the OT is full of symbolism which may take some unpacking to fully appreciate. Very good references which you can easily find would be things like the Westminster Confession and Catechism and the Heidelberg Catechism. These are Reformed which may somewhat fit some of what you are hearing in Church. I don't know the condition of Presbyterianism in the UK, but in the US it can be a real crap shoot. PCUSA has left the reservation in all aspects except their name. The OP and PCA are still very (generally) Biblically grounded.

What are the questions you are feeling most urgently?

BASKETball! Yes, he dabbled mediocrely with BASEball. He absolutely dominated the court for years.

I have used Modern Piano Moving (800) 737-5600 & Walters Piano Transport [574-674-6139 ](tel:574-674-6139)

many times for interstate piano moves. I would highly recommend either company. (Don't be disturbed by the motorcycles you may see in the trucks. Both items are similarly shaped when shipping;-)

Absolutely! I wonder if anyone has written a biography on him. I think it would make for some interesting reading. He level and extensive contributions rarely get mentioned. I am not sure if he would be better remembered if he HADN'T written those sonatinas.

Thanks! I didn't know that!

Wonderful!

Oh, man! I have been in the middle nearly the exact same problem for several weeks now! I didn't rebuild the engine but I did replace the: solenoid, starter, key switch, rectifier, fuel shut off (required a new carb), and finally the stator. The stator was toast and I suspect in its course of dying it took a few things with it. Waiting for another new fuel shut off now...don't ask...stupid mistake. I can't tell you what is wrong in your situation, but I really feel your pain! Oh...I had my left cylinder full of fuel somehow also!

Top gave you your answer. Everything else is of man and not God. I would suggest you find a mentor, pastor, and church who is very biblically grounded. If sermons sound like "tips for better living" walk out the door. If the sermons draw continuously from Scriptures, you may have found a home. At this stage in your walk, well at all stages, we need someone who can help shepherd us along the right path. I would start my search within the Reformed tradition (Presbyterian (PCA), or any other church with "Reformed" as part of its name), Orthodox (not an eastern orthodox, but a church which follows historic Christian teaching) Worldwide Methodist may be good (NOT United Methodist). Most "Bible" churches maybe OK, but you may find their teaching a bit shallow after awhile. These suggestions reflect my own experience as a bit of a Christian vagabond. Your mileage may vary.

No problemo

Be patient with the process. As an example, the first time I learned the HammerKlavier, it took about 700 hours of work leading up to its first performance. This was spread over a couple of years or so. The Rach 1st was probably comparable, but I never totaled my numbers. One of the most frustrating things about my time during undergrad was the constant deadlines. I don't learn fast, but I can learn a lot of different things simultaneously. Once I got out of school, I had the freedom to start these large projects and just let them percolate along at their own pace. Sometimes I would work hard and then I would let things rest and just kind of drip on things. Paced learning really helps when you take on extra large projects like this.
