I think it was the first song yesterday at church that didn’t sound right to my ears. I don’t have a music knowledge or aptitude, but I know different notes at the same time can create harmony. What I was hearing made me wonder if the vocalists with the microphones were singing parts without the melody line and the congregation was doing enough “follow the leader” that the melody was nearly absent.

The message later in the service was about conflict within the church. The point I came away was simply: it happens and deal with it.

We don’t have to all sing the same note, but it sounds best when the notes fit together and are balanced.
