So, this last reading was more of an application/practicality reading. As stated in my last two blogs, I kind of felt that maybe there wasn't enough work in my life! At home, my stacks of things are generally up-to-date and those that are not, take about an hour of my time. For my things at the church, I spent a day listening and planning the next five months. I listened to choral selections and put them on my worship calendar. I also made a "back-up-and-punt" list of favorite octavos "just-in-case" selections weren't learn as fast as I thought they should be or (in the case of the severe weather a few weeks ago) if we had to miss a rehearsal. Because my pastor doesn't plan his sermons according to a lectionary, choral anthems are sometimes a "hit-and-miss" with regards to his sermons. And I'm finding that oftentimes, since he knows my intended selections, he'll base his sermon off my selection! (Yes, backwards I suppose!)
The one thing that this section of reading did make me want to accomplish was to go through the former minister of music's file drawer to purge any outdated materials. As for my house, with this current move, things were drastically purged and things refiled in proper places.
