Two of our grandchildren and I just spent an afternoon with one of the world’s top composers of music for TV and film.  After thirty-seven years in Los Angeles he and his wife are back in the Northwest.  His state-of-the-art recording studios sit amidst twenty-three, densely treed acres of old growth timber.

Having worked with the best in the business, he’s traded Burbank for the backwoods, yet the world still beats a rhythmic path to his door.

Not talent, but putting in endless hours of practice and performance is his recipe for renown.  Paul the apostle adds this important perspective:  “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward.  It is the Lord Christ you are serving.”

Who’s your boss?
