We worked hard this evening on a number of pieces of music. But we had fun doing it; there is always an atmosphere of good humor and fellowship during rehearsals. There is also, however, time to be serious: Every rehearsal is concluded with prayer. Tonight was typical, in that there were prayers of gratitude as well as supplication. In the former category, thanks were given for Bobby's reaching an employment goal he has pursued diligently for some time; and for Debbie's continued successes in graduate course work. In the latter category, God's blessing was sought for Kim's mother, who has been battling serious health issues; for a co-worker of Lynda, who has a blood clot in the leg; and for a relative of Debra, who was injured in a motorcycle accident.
Most, if not all, of us have been supported at one time or another by the prayers and love of our brothers and sisters in the choir. It is far more than the common love of singing that binds the group together.
