There are about 30 missionary couples working in the Frankfurt Europe Central Area Office at Phoenix Haus. We spend most of our time working on computers and with databases and preparing material for In-Field Missionaires and Local Church Leaders. As happens in any office environment, somethings little things can create issues. For instance, when the CO<sub>2<\/sub> container creating sparkling water runs out, and if you really like sparkling water, some can get the &#8220;Sparkling Water Blues&#8221; or as it is said in German &#8220;Er hat den Sprudelwasser-Blues.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Elder Muelleck got a bad case of the &#8220;Sparkling Water Blues,&#8221; and asked me if I couldn&#8217;t write a song about how he was feeling. Then the next day he asked again. It snowed that night, and so I didn&#8217;t go on my normal morning walk. I normally play 2 of my songs to myself each morning before doing some exercises and then going on a walk. Since I was not going on a walk, I looked up &#8220;Beijing City Blues,&#8221; and used it as the basis for writing down some sarcastic comments about carbon-dioxide and sea level rise and what it seemed like Elder Muelleck was feeling. After I sang it for him, he kept talking about how much he liked it, and how the talent scouts are surely going to get me on The Ed Sullivan Show. My response was to ask, &#8220;Do you have a time-machine?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A goal is for this site to be interactive, for others to record their versions of the Psalms, or provide images or videos which explain a Psalm better.
