In the sermon Pastor Hunter mentioned that famous phrase, the first shall be last and the last shall be first.
Well, the last hymn comes on Sunday. I'm waiting for the organist to lead it. I look to the accompanist for direction. Then it struck me--I'm in charge of the singing, duh!
I'm "first" but I was last to catch on. The organist shakes her head. Pianist signals, I don't know. What is wrong? Okay. I sit at the piano and bang out the last hymn, "Go Tell It on the Mountain."
And who would have guessed it? They sang with full heart.
Third week on the job and I'm learning faster all the time. Nobody else is getting these ducks in a row. That's what I'm here for.

Hello Glen,
I was doing some good ol' google searching tonight and I ran across your blog. This is Josh Landis (of the Josh and Jenn duo). What a Sunday that was. We came prepared with the wrong set of lyrics (yet another blue hymnal, but this one title "Celebration Hymnal"). I've been learning so much humility these last few months.
But anyway, it is great to have you aboard the Zion crew, and I look forward to the future of Zion's music program.
