Adonay ~ LORD, Master
The
gifted violinist Fritz Chrysler had a Stradivarius violin that at one time
belonged to an old Englishman. Chrysler offered to buy it, but the old man told
him that the violin was not for sale. One day he ventured to the old man's
house and asked if he could touch it. The old man invited Chrysler in. He
tucked it under his chin and began to draw the bow across the strings. Great
tears began to well up in the old Englishman's eyes. Chrysler saw the man's
face and said, "I'm sorry, but I would so much like to buy this
instrument." The old Englishman said, "It is not for sale, but it is
yours. You are the master. You alone are worthy of it." When we call God
Adonay, we are saying that He is the Master. He alone is worthy, nothing and no
one else. He is worth all that we have and all that we are.

RULES OF THE ROAD:
1)The Names and Titles of God our Father and Jesus Christ our Savior will be respected at all times.
2) Discussion is encouraged, however, respect for other people and their opinions is the rule---play nice.
3) No profanity, allusions, innuendos or just plain nastiness will be tolerated. Decency WILL prevail.
This is MY house and YOU are a guest here and differences of opinion will be tolerated as long as you conduct yourself accordingly. If "the exercise of civility is beyond your ability" or you were never taught by your parents, feel free to take your toys and go home and vent your pent-up anger elsewhere.
