I love to play the steel guitar. I already know that God has some beautiful steel guitars waiting for me. I told the Lord to surprise me. I never tell the Lord what I want, because I trust that He knows my heart infinitely better than I ever could, and can do a much better job of picking things for me than I can for myself. He said all things will be given to us in Romans 8:32. Jesus was a carpenter and can build anything handmade. I think it is amazing and more than a coincidence that the Creator of this universe worked on earth for 30 years as a carpenter! Amen! The Lord said to Peter in John 14:1-3 that He was going to prepare a place for him (and every believer), that we may be together forever in “My Father's house.”

I know that God is going to enable me to play music the way I have always wanted to (few artists like their work). God is going to give me an orchestra to play along with, and the best sound equipment. We likely won't even need sound equipment, but I hope so. I love the old tube technology. I love old things and aged wood. I don't play my guitar anywhere near as much as I'd like to down here on earth—in part because of my adverse health with my neck, and also because I sacrifice most of my time to maintain and work on my websites (and I am honored and grateful for the unique opportunity and privileged to do so).

I have given up my life for the Lord's work. Matthew 10:42 and 16:25, “And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward. ... For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.” God is going to reward me for every keystroke on my computer's keyboard, every night I've worked through until the next day, and for working hard even though it caused more pain in my neck sitting for long hours typing. Jesus PROMISED to reward all of our labors for Him.
