Appreciating Each Other

I sing in the choir as a member at Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church in Prescott, Ariz. Our pianist/organist is a former opera singer. With her expertise, our 16 voices are instructed in timing, correct pitch, and necessary tone changes when appropriate. As an 81-year-old retired missionary, teacher, and pastor, I have been involved in many choir/ worship services. We come together to make joyful (hopefully in tune) music to the Lord. When Paul began his letter to the members in Ephesus, I am sure he wanted them to be an uplifting-sounding choir in song and deed. Singing does bring us together. In my church choir, the four basses have been correctly positioned according to vocal ranges, as are the other three vocal sections. Doesn’t that remind us of God placing us where He wants us for His work in our sin-filled world? We know we have a heavenly home awaiting us where we will sing with the angels, probably in tune. Ha. God’s blessings.
