Twice Blessed

I attended Reykjavik Cathedral this morning, Bishop Agnes Sigurardottir leading service. The massive pipe organ gives tones that are superior to the new electronics. When I saw the beaming faces of the couple sitting near me, I realized that their young son who disappeared mid-service was the organ soloist. WOW That is a talented young man. Having been the organist in my teen years, I was particularly impressed by his command of playing the foot pedals (no you cannot see them, its all by touch).  

After service, Bishop Agnes gave a warm greeting to all. I walked as fast as possible in the rain to tune into the live feed from First Baptist Church of Indian Rocks.  Singing from my apartment balcony with our wonderful choir and hearing Pastor Jeff's message; blessed in two languages!
