So, I was disappointed at Church today. We did not sing one of my favorite songs, one you can only sing once a year. We did not sing "Ring Out, Wild Bells" (Hymn #215). I absolutely adore that song. It sounds rather melancholy - which is perfect for a song about the year dying. We have not sung that song since we moved into this ward, and each year I am bummed by that. Once again, my family will just have to sing it on our own. Sigh.

I love church singing gripes.
I love that song too! When I was a kid I hated it and thought, "Who could like this depressing song?"
Then, as I got older I like it more and more. And now I absolutely love it and always look for it at year's end as well. It's a must sing. Someone needs to let someone know! Let's use our Sweet Mesquite moxy and make it happen!
We sang it! We sang it!

Sometimes it pays to be in charge of picking the music. It really, really does.
I'm going to have to have "words" with Sister Powell!!
