Lord, set my life in a permanent position to serve You.

If you look up Les Paul, you will find this:

Lester William Polsfuss (June 9, 1915 – August 12, 2009) — known as Les Paul — was an American jazz and country guitarist, songwriter and inventor. He was a pioneer in the development of the solid-body electric guitar which "made the sound of rock and rollpossible".^[He is credited with many recording innovations. Although he was certainly not the first to use the technique, his early experiments with overdubbing (also known as sound on sound),delay effects such as tape delay, phasing effects, and multitrack recording were among the first to attract widespread attention.

His innovative talents extended into his playing style, including licks, trills, chording sequences, fretting techniques and timing, which set him apart from his contemporaries and inspired many guitarists of the present day.He recorded with his wife Mary Ford in the 1950s and they sold millions of records.

^{Now, I am not a guitarist so that does not mean a lot to me. But keep reading .....}

^{In January 1948, Paul shattered his right arm and elbow in a near-fatal automobile accident in Oklahoma. Doctors told him that they could not rebuild his elbow so that he would regain movement; his arm would remain permanently in whatever position they placed it in. Paul instructed the surgeons to set his arm at an angle—just under 90 degrees—that would allow him to cradle and pick the guitar. It took him a year and a half to recover.}

^{Here was a man who so loved playing his guitar that he chose to have his arm positioned that he would never throw, reach or raise his right arm; but he could play his guitar.}

^{As a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, should I ask the Lord to set my life in such a permanent position that it will serve only You? Oh, I think so.}
