Chalice & CrossThe chalice with a cross rising from it symbolizes Christ's obedient suffering, even unto death.The cross is called a "passion cross," with pointed ends that represent suffering. We.rememberthat in the garden of Gethsemane, Jesus begged his Father that the "cup" of suffering be takenfrom him. But ultimately, he prayed, "Not as I will, but as you will" (Matthew 26:39, NIV).

During college, while living in a boarding house, author Lloyd Douglas be-friended a retiree. The man, a homebound former music teacher, shared a morningritual with Douglas, who would walk down to the man's floor, open his door and

ask, "What's the good news?"Every day the man responded by tapping a tuning fork against his wheelchair andsaying, "That's middle C. It was middle C yesterday. It will be middle C tomor-

row. It will be middle C a thousand years from now. The tenor upstairs sings flat,the piano across the hall is out of tune, but, my friend, that is middle C!"

If middle C's pitch value isn't exactly 261.63 Hz, then your piano needs to be tuned.How comforting that dependability is for musicians - and their listeners.

Like middle C, God is steadfast and reliable. In this fast-paced world, praise Godfor the good news he declares to us: "I the LORD do not change" (Malachi 3:6).
