We are currently in New York City experiencing a wind chill factor of 18 degrees Fahrenheit.  Maybe that's why I enjoy posting photos from the warmer climates (anyone recognize where the photo of the chair is?)

Most of you who read this blog understand that I'm heavily into Praise & Harmony.  Last evening, while walking the streets in New York City, a sad occurrence happened.  It was like a world without color or a day without sunshine.  We came upon a group of some thirty carolers in the bitter cold.  Although I give them an "A" for spirit and enthusiasm, they sang every song in unison!  Thirty men and women singing beautiful carols with no harmony?  What would our world be without harmony?

I'm trying to be humorous here.  Of course, the cheerful heart and spirit they displayed was absolutely the most important factor of their effort.  But, hearing those songs without the pre-ordained harmonies?  I was ready to offer them a Praise & Harmony workshop right there on the street corner.

The fact is, I view my "target audience" for the Praise & Harmony workshops as the people who don't sing, who don't think they can sing and who don't normally participate.  Desire plus training can bring harmony into this world, starting with the church!
