Dear Mary: Albert Robinson was my piano and organ teacher at St Peter's Episcopal Church in Philadelphia in the late '60s. What a wonderful man! Because of him, I went on to become an organist and choral director. Thank you for posting this memory.

Goodness and Mercy by: Mary
Mr. Albert F. Robinson, organist of St. Cornelius on Governor's Island in NYC during the 1950's when I was a little girl, was my teacher. If you were an Army brat whose father was stationed there, you might remember him. This is for you, too. He told a joke about the 23rd psalm which was unforgettable, in which Goodness and Mercy were two young goats that followed the writer everywhere. As my friend's elderly, sick mother lies dying, I think of her walking through her garden with those 2 little goats following her; I feel she is walking peacefully to the valley of the shadow of death and it brings me comfort. I hope it will also help my friend as she helps make her mother comfortable in the last hours.

Psalm 23 by: Nom
Yet again it allows the warmth of our Lord to encapsulate my body and soul.
