Some of you may know I’m a choir nerd (vocalist and accompanist). My 22-yr old son and I had the opportunity to see these selections performed live. Wow. It was a great way to spend a Sunday! Maybe some other choir nerd will enjoy this, too.

I’m most definitely a choir nerd. I’d wear that shirt proudly if I had one. 🙂
What a marvelous thing to be able to use your human voice as an instrument —and to add to that—to sing praises to our Lord and invite others to worship through God’s gift of music. I get goosebumps thinking about that gloriousness. Is that a word? Lol
