"Try to understand, Dad", the teenager whined, " those hymns at church bore me stiff. They are too far behind the times. The stanzas contain too many old, meaningless words." His father put an end to this complaint which had been voiced before by saying, " If you think you can write better hymns, then why don't you do it?
This teen went to his room and began immediately! He wrote his first hymn at 16. And...he continued to write 349 more!
Are you feeling bored with life, your community or even the church? Then do something constructive about it. You can contribute something that you would be remembered by 300 years from now, if Jesus tarries.
" Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord . (Colossians 3:16)
