I was going to try and think of something interesting and deep to post, but that was before I got sick. Now my mind just needs a break with the rest of my body.
Musical is over! Im so glad i decided to do it this year, it was amazing. Im just disappointed that i didnt get involved last year. My brother can sing, and I'm trying to convince him to do it. It's not going so well, but we'll see.
Singing is just indescribable. Its given a prominent place even in the Bible! There's a whole book called song of solomon, along with the psalms. David sang to King Saul to put him out of his bad mood. I know that when Im feeling confused, angry, upset, and just plain tired of the stress of life it's music that calms me down. There's music to express every feeling imaginable, along with many feelings which cant be put into words.
I love to hear people sing. There's something solid and sure about a good song that just grabs me be it instrumental, a hymn, something off a soundtrack, or one of my favorites off of iTunes. I dont know what it is about Disney songs- they are just plain amazing! Not only are they fun to sing, but they seem to have deeper messages too.
A couple weeks ago my respect and like of mr. wiegert grew even more. We heard him playing the piano in the band room, and followed the sound. Where others might have stopped, he continued and shared with us how he was feeling tense and frustrated, and how the piano helped him to relax. It had been a long day for me too, and listening to him play struck some chord in me (no pun intended) that just smoothed out the knots in my mood. Pure music took the place of stress, worries, and confusion in my mind. His willingness to admit weakness and share the things that he cares about makes him one of my favorite people, one of the people I admire most. He's a great teacher, that mr.wiegert... in the classroom and out of it.
Thank the Lord for the gift He has given us in music!
