WOW, what a reminder that God is on the move everywhere.although a church didn't organize this spectacular reminder of God's presence it's one more example that God IS -- everywhere, all the time -- and that HE IS ON THE MOVE calling all people to a relationship through the powerful work of His Son, Jesus Christ. Who, by the way, is the one who will reign forever and ever.This will get you ready for the upcoming Advent Season for sure.Read this and enjoy this video. Made me smile all the way to the core!Jeff Fuson________ Begin Forwarded Message________________The largest functioning pipe organ in the world is located (of all places!) in the Macy's department store in downtown Philadelphia.The organ is played daily at noon while shoppers visit the store, as well as for many after-hours special events and concerts.Just last Saturday, 10/30/2010, one such special event "happened." While the store was filled with ordinary shoppers, more than 600 "shoppers" burst into a full chorus of the "Hallelujah Chorus" from Handel's "Messiah." The "happening" event was staged by the Philadelphia Opera Company and engaged volunteers from just about every school, church and singing group in the city. This little 5-minute clip really deserves a look and listen, in my opinion.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wp_RHnQ-jgUThe organ is known around the world as the "Wanamaker Organ" because John Wanamaker installed this 28,500+ pipe instrument in the "Grand Hall" at the center of his 7-story department store.The cross-shaped store opened in 1909 and fills a city block. The entire top floor is set up as a pipe organ maintenance and repair shop and once engaged 40 employees to expand and maintain the instrument. Obviously, my own enthusiasm for pipe organs pales incomparison to that of John Wanamaker!Why doesn't this make the news?"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the places and moments that take our breath away."______________ end of forwarded message_____________
