Hey everyone, thanks so much for visiting my GoFundMe page! My name is Caleb Smith, I'm currently a second year jazz trombone performance major studying at Oberlin Conservatory on a full scholarship. I was fortunate enough to have been accepted into the 2017 Banff International Workshop in Jazz and Creative Music. This highly prestigious program, run by acclaimed jazz pianist Vijay Iyer, is a three week summer intensive that selects developing musicians from all over the world to come study and work with modern jazz greats. This would be an amazing opportunity not only to meet and study with masters, but to network with like minded musicians in my age group, however the program only awards up to 60% in financial aid. The program's tuition, along with the cost of airfare (at least $400 each way) will make this a very expensive endeavor. I'll be doing everything I can to cover the costs, but I can't do it alone! Please consider donating to help me achieve my dream of attending Banff's amazing program. Any amount will be helpful and greatly appreciated!

BE BLESS BY YOUR CREATOR GOD "I AM"

O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!  You have set your glory above the heavens. From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise because of your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger. When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,  what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him?  You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings  and crowned him with glory and honor.  You made him ruler over the works of your hands; you put everything under his feet:  all flocks and herds, and the beasts of the field,  the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas.  O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! Psalms 8:1-9 NIV MAY THE LORD JESUS' BE WITH YOU TODAY FOR EVER IN YOUR HEART! "GOD IS LOVE   1 JOHN 4:16"

COUNTERFEIT

-

But God’s truth stands firm like a foundation stone with this inscription: “The Lord knows those who are his,” and “All who belong to the Lord must turn away from evil.” 2Timothy 2:19 NLT Some things will never change.  One of them is the solidity of the truth of God's Word.  It matters not who tries to distort and malign it;  its foundation is unshakable.  One of the reasons I am confident in the Word is that God's Word is not discerned by the head, but by the heart of man.  The hearts of men and women of God cannot be tampered with.  Something else that always remains the same is the truth that God is very clear about those who belong to Him.  He is not confused at all.  Who are they?  They are the ones who claim to be His by turning away from all wickedness, with godly sorrow and genuine repentance.   Any mother who has given birth and seen her baby for the first time will from then on recognize as a fraud and sub...

Is Your Name In The of Book of Life? Daniel 7

Daniel 7 Amplified Bible (AMP) IN THE first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions in his head as he was lying upon his bed. Then he wrote down the dream and told the gist of the matter. 2 Daniel said, I saw in my vision by night, and behold, the four winds of the heavens [political and social agitations] were stirring up the great sea [the nations of the world]. 3 And four great beasts came up out of the sea in succession, and different from one another. 4 The first [the Babylonian empire under Nebuchadnezzar] was like a lion and had eagle's wings. I looked till the wings of it were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth and made to stand upon two feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it. 5 And behold another beast, a second one [the Medo-Persian empire], was like a bear, and it raised up itself on one side [or one dominion] and three ribs were in its mouth between its teeth; and it was told, Arise, devour much flesh. 6 After this I loo...

El Verdadero Amor-----True Love

-
Image
Porque de tal manera amó Dios al mundo, que dio a su Hijo unigénito, para que todo aquel que cree en El, no se pierda, mas tenga vida eterna.  Porque Dios no envió a su Hijo al mundo para juzgar al mundo, sino para que el mundo sea salvo por El.  El que cree en El no es condenado; pero el que no cree, ya ha sido condenado, porque no ha creído en el nombre del unigénito Hijo de Dios.  Y este es el juicio: que la luz vino al mundo, y los hombres amaron más las tinieblas que la luz, pues sus acciones eran malas.  Porque todo el que hace lo malo odia la luz, y no viene a la luz para que sus acciones no sean expuestas. Pero el que practica la verdad viene a la luz, para que sus acciones sean manifestadas que han sido hechas en Dios. Juan 3:16-21  (LBLA) “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.   For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to sa...

HISTORY OF "IN GOD WE TRUST"

-
Image
The motto IN GOD WE TRUST was placed on United States coins largely because of the increased religious sentiment existing during the Civil War. Secretary of the Treasury Salmon P. Chase received many appeals from devout persons throughout the country, urging that the United States recognize the Deity on United States coins. From Treasury Department records, it appears that the first such appeal came in a letter dated November 13, 1861. It was written to Secretary Chase by Rev. M. R. Watkinson, Minister of the Gospel from Ridleyville, Pennsylvania, and read: Dear Sir: You are about to submit your annual report to the Congress respecting the affairs of the national finances. One fact touching our currency has hitherto been seriously overlooked. I mean the recognition of the Almighty God in some form on our coins. You are probably a Christian. What if our Republic were not shattered beyond reconstruction? Would not the antiquaries of succeeding centuries rightly reason from our past that ...

For if people do these things when the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?” (Luke 23:31 NIV) What the United States did to American Japanese Part I written by  Geoffrey R. Stone , Contributor Edward H. Levi Distinguished Service Professor of Law, The University of Chicago JUSTIN SULLIVAN VIA GETTY IMAGES Americans sometimes forget what we as a nation are capable of. It is important to remember. Unless we are vigilant, we can repeat the mistakes of the past, mistakes we too often try to forget. The Japanese internment during World War II was a tragedy we should never forget. As it should remind us, “it” –- whatever nightmare of government abuse and misconduct we might imagine — can, indeed, happen here.  In this three-part essay, I will trace the history of one of the most unconscionable tragedies in American history.  War fever often translates into xenophobia. This is understandable, for in wartime individuals with a connection to the enemy are mo...

The Seven Plagues God's Wrath Poured Down on Earth

Revelation 16 The Seven Bowls of God’s Wrath 16  Then I heard a loud voice from the temple   saying to the seven angels,   “Go, pour out the seven bowls of God’s wrath on the earth.” 2  The first angel went and poured out his bowl on the land,   and ugly, festering sores   broke out on the people who had the mark of the beast and worshiped its image. 3  The second angel poured out his bowl on the sea , and it turned into blood like that of a dead person, and every living thing in the sea died. 4  The third angel poured out his bowl on the rivers and springs of wate r, and they became blood.   5  Then I heard the angel in charge of the waters say: “You are just in these judgments,   O Holy One,      you who are and who were; 6  for they have shed the blood of your holy people and your prophets,      and you have given them blood to drink   as they deserve.” 7 ...
