When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember this story about a jar and a cup of coffee.

A professor at a Christian college stood before his philosophy class with several items in front of him.

When the class began, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.

The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly and the pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They nodded their approval.

The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled in the gaps. He asked once more if the jar was full and the students responded with a unanimous "yes."

We receive emails from our listeners around the world every month and they are so encouraging and humbling to us. We’d like to share some of those with you:

Location: California Comments: I recently found your website and every night since then I have been enjoying the worship music as I sleep. I am a light sleeper due to this Fibromyalgia health problem. I am on permanent disability so I spend a good deal of time in bed. I just want to thank you.  This music has soothed my soul and spirit. My Lord is on my mind 24 hours a day, and I love the old worship hymns you play, especially at night when we feel so alone. Thank you and God bless this ministry.
