She was scrutinized. She got the job. She is in hyper-thrill. This story is a miraculous one. Such anecdotes provide welcomed boosts to us as we labor in the vineyard.
Musicians tend to tell each other horror stories after horror stories.
Some find it hard to believe that any good does occur in our ministries. These bone-chilling accounts range from an attempted physical attack by a parish curate upon the person of the music director to the simulated sexual assault on the organist by the custodian. If anyone thinks that ecclesiastical ministry is without demons, just talk to your nearest church musician. Do continue the conversation, though, and see if there is anything good at all that happens in the course of our ministerial day. I think good does happen.
