On Wednesdays, we have choir devotionals to help us focus on the spiritual task at hand. Brother Belnap, our choir director said that our purpose as a choir is to help invite the spirit so that others can feel it and be edified by it.
My friend Ammon (who served in Hong Kong with me) was responsible for this week's devotional. He shared a story about how our last tour to China helped people come unto Christ.
Here are the values and focuses for our choir this semester. My favorite one is the one on the left reading "Rise to the Divinity withing you". This quote by President Gordon B. Hinckley, always helps me to remember who I am and the potential I have for good. It makes me want to do better everyday and gives me hope for the future.
Great thoughts and ideas. I have always felt that music brings the spirit with great speed and force. The right kind of music can invite the spirit to any gathering or situation, it is the universal language of the spirit.
