I find it simply incredble. How is it possible that things can blend so well? Smoothies, slushies, those classic pairs like peanut butter and jelly amd salt and pepper. Clouds and sky, the colors of a sun set or sun rise. More than that. How is it that beings as flawed, as messed up as humans like you and me can make such beautiful music? How is it that we are worthy to be able to listen whenever we want to the sounds of a guitar or a sax or a harp or the voices of a chorus? Surely we havent done anything. As i sit in chapel, especially fridays which are singing chapels, i wonder to myself why im so blessed as to go to a school like i do where practically everyone was born singing perfect harmony. Im not sure all church of Christ people really experience singing like somebody raised Lutheran does. I truely appreciate the fact that im not the only alto in a congration of 200.

I disagree. About the Lutheran vs. Coc thing, anyways. I'll talk to you later about it.

Music is a gift. So incredible. I miss our little singing group in the back. Cause I think all of us sang. Really sang. And I really miss you leaning over and yelling Zerubbable! fairly violently in mine ear!

Oh, I appreciate it. So much.

I've been thinking about the music thing, too. Its even harder to believe that we're able to create such beauty. My hands aren't worthy. Music is such a mysterious thing.

Me too! We should start a campaign or something. I hate it when chorus people won't sing. I mean, really?

Umm....I blame it on the basses. Always.

Next year, though, Garrett says he's going to whip them into shape. Then it will be good.
