Micah 6:8
Zechariah 14:20
Yes, your life matters.
We all are still sheltering in place, but I'm here to keep you sane and entertained.
One could hardly ask for much more than that, now could one?
We had bell choir rehearsal last night as we're playing for worship on Sunday!
It's such a different way to make music with others. Rather than each of us playing (or singing) a part that's recognizable, as we would in a vocal choir or a band, each of us is assigned a few specific notes to play when they come by in the score. Frankly, it's not often that any one person gets enough of a melody to feel they've really played something the audience or congregation would notice.
Still, much like rowing in a crew (at least how I've heard it described), the sense of teamwork and acting as a single (musical) unit is rewarding in a totally different way to any other musical endeavour I've tried.
Here's hoping and praying that we'll play as well on Sunday as we did at the end of rehearsal!
Keep Calm and Stay Away.
I'll be back tomorrow.
