O ye of little faith . . .
I'm just full of things to say this evening . . .This morning our Church Accompanist was ill, and that always throws me a little - having to scramble to get things covered. She is so very talented, and frankly her leadership from the keyboard makes our service of worship what it is each week. She sight reads remarkably well, and again, her leadership helps our choir be all they can be - and they are terrific.
This morning, when she called in sick, I immediately determined that we would not be able to do the choir special. Then we got into the rehearsal room, and one of the choir members said, "Do you think we could sing it a capella?" I didn't think so, and then another of them said, "Well, let's at least run through it to see!" So we did - and they were terrific. Frankly sounded like a piece we hadn't performed before - new music.
One of the things that is the most remarkable things about our church is that this group of people is led by a pastor who is not what you would describe as a man of "profound faith." Most often, the people who surround me express far more faith than I do - they are the real warriors. I play the role of skeptic far too often - and they always, always respond with encouraging grace.
God, through Paul, said that God places the members of the body in the body, just as God desires. I'm glad . . .

It really is about making a joyful noise...and you help us do this week in and week out...It is such a blast to sing with these folks...I hope the heavenly father enjoys it half as much as we enjoy singing it...

It was a LOT of fun, and we couldn't have done it with very many other songs!
