Our Choir and the Men s Ensemble performed superbly. They took us back to another era. Few people enjoy reminiscing more than I do. Memory can be a wonderful thing. Remembering is one of the most important things the church does.
Memory can also paralyze an individual, a church, or any human institution.
It can cause us to yearn for a world in which we no longer live perhaps even for a world we never inhabited. And, sometimes it can cause us to miss the wonder of each new moment of God s Creation. The Prophet Isaiah chided the Hebrews during their Babylonian captivity. I am far from thinking I have already won. Past, Present, and Future.
