They appreciated your insights as one new to LCMS and providing context of what you find different, in a good way.

I was more than impressed, and especially after what I saw today, I could write an entirely new post equal in length to this one going on about what I thought was wonderful. The praise band's cover of "Let All Moral Flesh" made my day and was on par with Sting's cover of "The Angel Gabriel." The vocals were outstanding, the accompaniment tasteful. The blood, sweat, and tears poured into the event were clearly rewarded, and I could get exhausted just thinking about how much work went in to pull it off. Job well done.<br /><br />If I had a critique left to offer, it would pertain to the theology of some methods employed, not the music. But believe me, anything potentially constructive I might have had to offer to the conversation at this point is but a speck on the boot I am still trying to dislodge from my mouth. †Miguelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08341398125452787627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4859253535729585150.post-12592398476406416772013-07-04T10:13:14.477-07:002013-07-04T10:13:14.477-07:00Thank you for this.

They have worked long and hard (outside of their "day" jobs) to offer up the most excellent offering of praise they could. Filthy rags that they are, we have prayed that God would be honored. From all I've read you are a gifted musician and I value your musical critique. We all misstep and I am so thankful first of all for God's grace and then in response to His grace, the grace extended from my brothers and sisters in Christ. I know you walk in His forgiveness. Please know also that I forgive you.Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05043221274310463241noreply@blogger.com
