Addio Maestro

Luciano Pavarotti
1935~2007

With the death of Pavarotti yesterday, the world has lost one of its finest tenor voices. His voice was pure, pitch perfect and powerful. On a news report today was a clip of Pavarotti stating confidently during a media interview, "I make people happy. I know God has done something special for me. He kissed my vocal cords, and that I know."

Lord, it is my prayer that all Your people would know deep down that You've done something special for us. That we might sense the kiss of Your favour on us personally and use our voices to praise You. May our lives reflect purity of heart, "pitch perfect" character and model the power of Your love.
So be it...

Psalm 63:5 (NIV) ~ "My soul will be satisfied as with the richest of foods; with singing lips my mouth will praise you."
