When I was a teen we had a multi-stake youth conference in Spokane, Washington at an old convent called St. Michael's. It was an awesome place. It had a chapel with an great old pipe organ, and the console was up on a loft. One night I wasn't ready to go to sleep so I went to the chapel and started playing the organ. There was some sheet music there I read from and enjoyed filling the empty chapel with the rich, full sounds of the organ. I expected someone to come kick me out at any moment, because I wasn't playing very softly!
While I was playing, I became aware of some very nice baritone voices singing along with what I was playing. They still had a few priests or monks there running the convent, and I thought maybe one or two of them had come in to the chapel down below. I stopped playing and the voices stopped immediately. I peered over the balcony and didn't see anyone, so I started playing again. After a little while I could hear the wonderful sounds of the voices again. Oh well, I thought, if those spirits enjoy it, so will I. So I played on and on, enjoying the mutual concert that was going on - me playing for them, and they singing for me.
Don't . . . Quit . . . Trying!!
