Sunday

This morning I woke up at seven thirty so that we could get to choir rehearsal before mass. This mass was to celebrate Martin Luther King. So what we did was start singing in the audience and come up onto the stage for the song after the Homily. It was interesting to do it that way. The homily that the man did was perfect for the spot that we were on. Hochstein used to be a church and Susan B. Anthony and Frederick Douglass spoke and had their funerals at that spot. Before it was a church Amy and Issac Post house stood there where Sojourner Truth stayed one night. These people used to be on the route to freedom for slaves. Anyway this homily was how race hinders people acting as a community. It is one of those homilies that you need to be there to get the impact. It is also one of the few homilies that hit home with me. It was really good. Then after church, Dad and I went to Wegmans, finally picking up Katie at youth group. Then Dad, Rosa, and I went to find the Music Lover''s Shop because it moved from its previous location. It is in a house now, which is much smaller. I got my music book that had all of my favorite songs. I had misplaced my older one. So then from then to just before I started writing this that I played almost every single song in that book. I want to get better because I saw there Reliant K's music for their new cd "Five Score and Seven Years Ago" I want to be able to play my favorite song from that disc on the piano.

That sounds like quite an interesting homily. When You were singing and walking, did you hold the music, or did you have to memorize it? I know how hard it is to walk, sing and hold music all at the same time. I hope you can learn that song on the piano. It's always so satisfying doing things like that.

After rereading what you wrote, to make sure I got all my facts right, I realized what you were saying. You weren't walking with the music at all, you just weren't sitting in the choir seats during the service. We did that all the time at our old church.
