It’s Sunday morning and the faithful have gathered. I'm jumping ahead and reading the text for the message. It’s a heavy duty “tear open your heart” repentance passage—Joel 2:12-17. I’m wondering if the pastor is going to hold our feet to the fire.

We’re using the O Waly Waly tune with a traditional hymn that has its own traditional tune. I think the point of a different tune is to shake the singer out of a habit and thus give more attention to the words. Maybe we should just sing everything with O Waly Waly.
