Usually I catch myself before playing the pharisee, but alas not this morning! If I were Russian I’d go kneel on beans for a couple of hours, but I’m Greek so I’ll just do a few metanoias and call it good! :)
BTW, in our parish, until a few years ago, we called the sounds emanating from the choir loft “killing cats”. God however is merciful and my mother’s generation in the choir has gone on to the bosom of Abraham and has been replaced by a group of young folks (early 60s) whose voices are actually quite good!

I used to sing in our church choir. Soprano section! Unfortunately, older age and respiratory problems have kicked in, and I just can't hit those notes like I used to. When I can breathe well enough, I do my best from my pew. I may sound like a frog to the person next to me, but I mean it with all my heart, and God knows that... So, I believe to Him, I sound pretty good! :)
Hey, maybe if I get to Heaven, He'll give me back my voice!
God bless you!
