A pencil maker told the pencil five important lessons just before putting it in the box:

1. Everything you do will always leave a mark.

2. You can always correct the mistakes you make.

3. What is important is inside of you.

4. In life, you will undergo painful sharpenings which will only make you better.

5. To be the best pencil, you must allow yourself to be held and guided by the hand that holds you.

Sounds like we can apply that to our own lives, doesn't it?

Whenever someone makes a donation to help AllWorship broadcast free Christian music around the world, we give them a token of our appreciation: the ability to listen to our premium stream. There is a much higher quality sound on the premium stream. And we have recently made a significant change on the premium stream. We have eliminated any talking after you log on, so you just hear music. The programming flows from one great song to another, with no interruptions. If you'd like to help keep our ministry on the air, you can do so here.

Some encouraging emails we received in May from our listeners around the world:

Comments: Greetings in the wonderful name of our Lord Jesus! I love to play AllWorship while I'm on the Internet. You play such a refreshing mix of old and new songs. Please don't change what you're doing!

Comments: It is most vitally important that your AllWorship.com ministry continues to bring this most needed blessing to 'worshippers' wherever they are listening!!

Location: United States
Comments: I will still be donating from time to time because I believe in the mission of what you do and I do know the upkeep is expensive. There are a lot of Christian stations out there, but I like the old and new of what you play, and it touches the heart of folks when needed most, as it did for me.
