If you can't be postive

I have to go ahead and post this link. I know I posted earlier about keeping our heads up and being positive. I also know that this is hard to do. So, when you are feeling negative and pessimistic, check out this company:

Look at some of the things they offer, and then realize:

Book: By the Waters of Babylon

Worship. It is what the church does as we strive to honor God with our lips and our lives. And then, many churches argue about worship. I have about a half-dozen books on my shelf about worship, but adding Scott Aniol’s By the Waters of Babylon to the shelf has been excellent.

First of all, Aniol’s work is not based on solving a musical debate. While that branch of worship is often the most troublesome in the local church, By the Waters of Babylon takes a broader view.
