The choir was all abuzz about the weather, this morning. My carpool buddy Ben, and I, don't ever remember such a winter storm happening on a Sunday morning as long as we've been in the choir (4+ years). But happen it did. As we crawled along the freeway at 30-40 MPH, swerving this way and that, we felt deep relief as we finally pulled into the Conference Center parking lot. We only had 5 minutes or so to go get changed and up into the loft for rehearsal. But we thought that if there was any day that the choir leadership was going to waive the penalty for latecomers, it was going to be today.
With the weather the way it was, the Tabernacle wasn't too full, although there were more there than I thought there was going to be. The program went well and I think my most-loved song of the day was "The Morning Breaks." The comfort of knowing that Someone is guiding and leading us today--in a world where secular leadership does very little to help solve the ills of society--is a reality that I'm grateful for. And I'll be grateful for when I can finally go home. " Jehovah speaks! Let earth give ear, and Gentile nations turn and live.
His mighty arm is making bare, his covenant people to receive."
After the broadcast, we continued rehearsing selections from The Messiah. Tickets for this upcoming concert "sold out" in about 15 minutes, though I hear there are still seats available at one of the watch-on-the-big-screen locations.
Other than that, the speeding train continues moving forward for the Choir. There isn't too much to see out the train window for right now, but that always changes...often.
Until next time, God be with you.
