Another long day at work which made for a late supper shortened the amount of time available to spend searching for songs. The suggested hymns in "Voices United" yielded a couple of possibilities: "Shall we gather at the river" and "I come with Joy" by Brian Wren (with the verses about communion removed).
Tomorrow will be a busy day. After finalizing the selection of songs for the singsong, I will prepare the slides for the church service and the announcements. As fall approaches, I am starting to think that maybe I have taken on more than I can handle: Discernment committee, Worship committee, Love [your city], singsong, choir, powerpoint presentations. I think it is time to take a good look at what it is I am doing and decide where my talents will best be used. Something to pray and meditate over for the next little while.
God Bless You!
My thoughts about my spiritual life and the work and life of the church.

About me: I am a baby-boomer who is now in his second career after spending 10 years in the military. I now work in the computer field, which also happens to be one of my hobbies. I also like to sing, play the guitar to accompany my singing, and play the piano when I practice (which is pretty much never these days)
I am glad to see that you are coming to that conclusion. I think you are right and I hope that you can come to some decision about where you want to focus. I love you.
