Back? Forward? Choir!

Looks like I may be back to choir after benching myself years ago, although doing so feels like forward movement on a variety of sacred fronts.

After months of visiting, I've opted for a church choir that usually ends its practice with prayers. Music ministry...what a concept. This choir sings from a loft, a setting that leads to a different set of antics than I've experienced while singing at floor level. It's also as hot as h-e-double hockey sticks up there but I don't care. I adore the perspective.

It was from this aerial view last Thursday that I happened to notice how the sanctuary below was starting to look like a theme park. What was up with all the BVM statues?

"It's May."

Oh. Right.
