a church choir

There's just something about music that transforms me, allows me to feel Jesus. Rock, jazz, classical, electronic, R&B, etc.

Today my family headed over to West Chester to attend the annual Christmas concert at Westminster Presbyterian Church. My 2nd cousin, Glenn, is the accompanist & music associate.

The opening hymn was "O Come All Ye Faithful" with a 110-voice choir, about 500 people singing along in the audience, and a full orchestra. I swallowed back tears, so as to not find myself crying uncontrollably. It was there, I could feel it. I wanted to cry. To just let it all out, but I didn't. Instead, I just soaked it all in...and thought about Jesus. Felt Jesus. It really made me long for Him and for heaven. I've found myself longing for heaven more and more.

It also made me miss the days of singing in my college's a capella choir, The Genevans. That was a privilege.
