I may be small, but I'm slow.

Originally posted by Copelius View PostGot to do O Holy Night with my wife playing piano, my boy playing violin and me singing. I am really liking the voice violin duets now that my son is advanced enough to really play just about any church appropriate literature. We did a Sally DeFord piece in February that was really nice as well. Got a flute and cello coming on the pipeline as well. I cannot see much room for my percussionist son though as far as church music goes. Good thing all the kids will have some piano as well.
Fortunately the organist filled in on the obbligato, but it would've sounded better with the violin.

There were four hymns and five other musical numbers for our sacrament meeting, and I played the organ or piano for all but two of them, including one where I didn't know I would be playing until the hour before (and didn't know what I would play until after I sat down at the piano). Plus I was going through (and am still going through) the worst cold I've ever had in my life. Somebody in the congregation told me it reminded them of Michael Jordan's infamous "flu game." I told him MJ pushed off.τὸν ἥλιον ἀνατέλλοντα πλείονες ἢ δυόμενον προσκυνοῦσιν

So I went to Priesthood for the fist time in four years yesterday. I was released from Primary in December, but there always seem to be sick kids, 3rd hour teacher training, playoff games, etc., so I hadn't made it to Priesthood yet.
So I walk in the room, and see a guy I know from another ward in the stake sitting there. We aren't that close, but have some of the same friends, and played on the same softball team one year a few years back, so I go ahead and make the visitor feel welcome. "Hey Nero" (not his real name), I say. "Welcome! What brings you here?" He gives me a weird, awkward look and says "Haha, I've been here 8 months." I explain that I have been exiled in Primary and out of the loop. He gets a serious look on his face and says "I've been though some hard times recently." Upon reflection, I decide to not ask if his wife and four children are also in our ward. So a good start.
Then, the older gentleman in charge of business cleaning stands up to talk. He surprises me by, for once, not taking any opportunity to talk about how rich his son is (maybe he had a rough week in the markets or something). Instead, he starts haranguing the entire group because the previous morning there was only one person who showed up to clean the building, and then the Stake President (who is in our ward) showed up, and do you think he was happy??? No, he wasn't!. We all know the SP, and I think we can all imagine just what kind of mood that put him in!!! And you can just imagine he had a talk with the bishop this morning about it!!! So if your lives are too busy to take an hour Saturday morning to clean, then just come Friday evening for heaven's sake! And if you can't come Friday either, at least send an email or something!?!?! Have I mentioned yet how mad the stake president was????
It went on like that for a while. I thought about asking if we still had to come clean the building if we didn't really care how mad the SP got at us, but he was kind of on a roll, so I stayed quiet. For the record, it wasn't my week to clean. I like cleaning the church. But I was coaching our youth basketball team to two glorious wins with Parrot Head (need to get that thread started while I am thinking of it).
So after that the teacher got up there, and we took turns reading a conference talk aloud for the next 20 minutes.
So that was my first week back. Sure hope no kids get sick next week.
