Last summer I had the opportunity to be away from Life in Christ to take a three month time of renewal, sponsored by the Lilly Foundation. In July 2011 my wife and I traveled through Austria, Germany and England. We were able to attend the Bach Festival in Leipzig and here I am standing next to the Bach statue outside the Thomaskirche. Bach served there for over 20 years. He is buried inside the church in the choir area. We attended four concerts in three nights with the highlight being the St. Matthew Passion which was performed at the Nicholaskirche. It was, without a doubt, the greatest and most wonderful music I have ever heard.
