Oh, yes. I’ve enrolled the kids into our church’s choir program. They will be memorizing and singing a new hymn each month along with learning more in the music education area. Man, did I get complaints from my oldest and youngest sons when I let them know that they’d be participating in such this year. So, I spent a few minutes explaining what benefits I see for them being a part of choir: making new friends, more social activities (indoor water park for starters), becoming more comfortable on a stage and public singing, training their voices, and most importantly, learning more about the Lord. Truthfully, though, even though I’m getting some complaints from them, this activity is not optional. I only see good things to come from this, so I’m using my “I know what’s best for you” card and trumping them on this one. Too bad:)
