"Bridges(William) reminds us that endings often give new beginnings a place to take root and grow, once we have come to accept that our former self-image or long held dreams are no longer operative, and that dwelling further on them may in fact be holding us back...Endings and beginnings are the rhythm of life, rhythm of seasons, and the circle of life in this earth."pages 140-141...almost done!

"We are in music because we believe in its power to affect lives as the Word of God is transmitted through the music we play,sing, or conduct. We are church musicians because we love music, we feel called to this ministry, and we feel we can make a difference. When we are not respected personally or as musicians, or when our program is not valued, it is pretty much a deal breaker."-page 127
