More edifying thoughts.....

Have you ever thought of how amazing the human voice is?? Just sit back and THINK about it..... Honestly, it's astounding how much potential there is in this invaluable ability that we take for granted... Just one set of vocal chords makes it possible to talk, laugh, groan, (and my personal favorite): SING!
There are so many different sounds you can make with your voice. One person is capable of singing opera, pop, rock, Gregorian Chant, country, jazz, you name it.... many varying styles and sounds, yet one voice.
The voice is man's main method of communication; and the vast number of languages through which this is done is phenomonal! Accents are numerous as well. Some are melodious and sweet, just as others grate on the ear, yet the same basic organ make-up is responsible for all sound. It is through the voice that one makes known to others his compassion, joy, ambitions, anger; his apologies, his love. But it is by this same great power that men lie and defile the innocent, that they swear and curse the very Being Who gave them their faculty. Is this not arrogance and grave ingratitude to so repay the Creator and Bequeather of the majestic gift of articulation?
