While were at the Messiah Sing this evening, a light dusting of snow came through. The radar map shows a cold front headed our way and the forecast says the high for the week will be 26 degrees — on Friday. This will be a good week for staying inside, thinketh me.
This was a pretty busy Sunday. I teach the Priesthood lesson on the 2nd Sunday of the month, which was today, so I spent much of the morning preparing the lesson. Church services were from 1 p.m. until 4 p.m. after which I had choir practice (and we definitely need the practice, don’t we Sister Christensen?). Nina came back down to the chapel at 4:40 p.m. so we could do tithing settlement. As Jim says, “All’s well in the kingdom.” After dinner at home we went over to the east side of town for the 23rd annual Messiah Sing. We got there early enough to sit near the front of the chapel and were soon joined by some neighbor friends. The orchestra did very well, the soloists were delightful (particularly one soprano and the bass), and the chorus was, of course, outstanding. At least the bass section was outstanding! By the end, though, I didn’t have much of a singing voice left and I’ve got a couple of those pieces rattling around in my head. There are lots worse things to go to bed with in my head, that’s for sure.
Music, cold, and possible snow. It’s definitely the season!
