We do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, We do not lose heart.    For our inner self is renewed day by day. An eternal weight of glory  That is far beyond compare An eternal weight of glory  For us is being  prepared So looking at the things we cannot see Reveals to us this mystery Our hearts shall be renewed By the unseen thing we've viewed As we walk by faith and not by sight The most precious realities Are made known as we walk in that light The place where a blind man sees. Chorus With the eyes of the heart and minds set on things above Our lives are hid with Christ in God alive in perfect love Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, Whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, Whatsoever things are lovely, what things are of good report; If there be any praise, think on these things- they will endure. As we look not to the things that are seen That are  now passing away We look to the things that ar...

Anthony sez, I read a lot of research and sometimes the design flaws just jump out at me.The study had 56 guitarists play six guitars that were built by one luthier with different woods on the back- and that was the only difference in them. The guitarists were is a dark room with welding goggles so they couldn't see the woods. Each guitar was compared with the others and each pairing had a winner. Their findings were that almost no difference in sound quality was discerned by the guitarists. The rankings were 1.Sapele, 2.Mahogany, 3. Indian Rosewood, 4. Brazilian Rosewood, 5. Walnut and 6. Maple.- but the largest rating difference was 0.2 overall. That is really close. The basic issue is that the soundboard (top) and the results of aging is generally recognized as being the main differentiators when it comes to sound quality. I have to say that my handbuilt early 70's old growth Brazilian rosewood guitars with German spruce tops and bracing sound better than anything else I hav...
