Thomas Rhett Wants You to 'Be a Light' Amid Coronavirus Darkness with Star-Studded New Song

(3.30.20) - https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/country/9346941/thomas-rhett-be-a- light Thomas Rhett Wants You to 'Be a Light' Amid Coronavirus Darkness With Star-Studded New Song Thomas Rhett is celebrating his 30th birthday with a poignant new song called “Be a Light.” The emotive ballad was written in 2019 and features Reba McEntire, Lady Antebellum’s Hillary Scott, Chris Tomlin and Keith Urban. Rhett penned the song with Josh Miller, Josh Thompson and Matt Dragstrem as a way to process the negativity and sadness he was seeing in the world. The soaring piano ballad has Rhett trying to uplift others with thoughtful lyrics. “In a world full of hate/ Be a light/ When you do somebody wrong/ Make it right/ Don’t hide in the dark, you were born to shine/ In a world full of hate/ Be a light,” they sing on the poignant chorus. The tune was released Monday (March 30) out of the urging of Rhett to his label team, he explained during an Instagram Live shortly after the song dropped. “I wrote this song last year,” he explained to his followers on Instagram Live. “This song was really just about being a light in a dark place; being an encouragement to people … We weren’t supposed to release this now, but I really felt like the song needed to come out today. I hope it puts a smile on your face in this crazy, crazy time.” Ahead of performing the tune for fans, he shared that proceeds from the song will go the the MusiCares COVID-19 Relief Fund, which will go toward members of the industry who are currently suffering from the coronavirus and those out of work due to the pandemic. “Know that your money is going to a great cause,” Rhett said. Rhett's "Be a Light" is below. .

Week Five: the Character and Power of the Church
NO LIMITS Building more than ourselves Celebration Church Pastors Bryan McDevitt & Tom Bartlett Daily Devotionals Week 5 Week Five: The character and power of the church. WEEK FIVE DAY 1 WORD About the ninth hour of the day he saw clearly in a vision an angel of God come in and say to him, “Cornelius.” And he stared at him in terror and said, “What is it, Lord?” And he said to him, “Your prayers and your alms have ascended as a memorial before God.” Acts 10:3-4 (ESV) Today’s encouraging word: Over the years I’ve encountered some amazing stories about people who came to know the Lord. Growing up in a strong missionary-minded church, our church would annually would host a mission’s conference with speakers each night and presentations from dozens of ministries and missionaries from around the world. Statements such as this one by Isobel Kuhn would stir my heart, “I believe that in each generation God has called enough men and women to evangelize all the yet unreached tribes of the earth. It is not God who does not call. It is man who will not respond!” (Missionary to China and Thailand). My heart would be stirred and challenged to be that man to go. Another inspirational story I recall was from a man who was bringing the gospel to the furthest reaches of the globe, to people groups with no gospel witness. He would go into these remote places, befriend them, learn their language, and then share the Good News of Jesus.

Horse and Buggy Driver's Manual
Horse and Buggy Driver’s Manual PUB 632 (4-19) www.penndot.gov Foreword Now more than ever, we, as horse and buggy drivers, need to be careful and observe the basic rules of safety when traveling on today’s busy roads. There is more traffic going much faster than ever before and we must do what we can to assure our own safety as well as that of motorists with whom we must share the road. We’ve created a horse and buggy driver safety manual to assist in this effort. Proper operation of your horse and buggy on these busy roads can greatly reduce crashes. The manual is intended for horse and buggy drivers operating on public roadways. However, this manual can also be useful for motor vehicle drivers, especially out-of-town visitors and tourists, not familiar with encountering horse and buggies traveling on the road. We hope that you will find this information useful and will do your part to make our roadways safe.
