Who hasn’t had performance jitters? 

We all have!  These vary from person to person.  From sweaty palms, to a lump in your throat, or cold feet.  We’ve had them.  We still have them.  I still have them!

You’re sitting there in a church/ auditorium, or waiting backstage, trying desperately to be calm, to be cool and collected.  Waiting to be announced.  Then suddenly, it’s time.

Interestingly, at least for me, it all disappears when I sing the first note of the song.

You know, many of us allow fear to stop us from doing what we’re supposed to be doing.  We fear being on the World Wide Web because we’re “out there”; people will know who we are, what we think and possible disagree with us when we post a comment or an article, etc.

If we have something that is worthy of sharing, something that can help others, we should not hesitate or be discouraged by the “What ifs…?”  Rather, we should say, “What if I can make a difference in someone’s life?”

The Gospel is a great message to share with the whole world.  John 3:16 says “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

This is the reason I sing, why I write: to communicate God’s love to everyone.
