Sing thine Oblations

Having grown up watching the Mormon Tabernacle choir perform at least twice a year for General Conference I sometimes think its easy to forget that there are people up their singing. They are so precise and well trained. The Mormon choir of Washington D.C was not so tonight. The concert was amazing! That being said there was such a showing of human frailty that it was thought provoking for me. This is a good thing, I think. From the old gentleman who was so bent over he took up two people's worth of space to the women who could no longer stand, whether from age or pregnancy. My heart soared when I watched the faces of the singers who knew they had gotten it right! To some people, myself included generally, it would have been a flawed performance. They had to stop and start one song twice because the pianist got ahead of the chorister and then vice versa. This only seemed to add to the performance.As the choir sang of the resurrection of the Lord I saw human nature grasping toward a loving Father in Heaven as if to say "Thank you." Like a child bringing home a picture they drew of home just for mommy and daddy. I can't wait for the next concert at the Visitor's center in two weeks, "A celebration of Cherry blossoms." Till next week
