When is the last time that you sang several Christmas carols in front of your own house at the top of your lungs? If you are like me you might answer, "NEVER!" Would that be embarrassing or what? We talk a lot about getting the Gospel out and yet to think about doing something so simple as singing Christmas carols makes us shrink with terror.
Just yesterday the kids who will be singing in our Kids Cantata on Saturday at the resthome had an "in neighborhood" practice. The houses in the neighborhood are tiny and there were 20 kids so the practice was held in Michelle's garage. To help the little ones get over their embarrassment Alexandre told me that he was going to have them sing in FRONT of Michelle's house. After about a half an hour of practice he announced his plan. There was a scream of the above mentioned terror. But, out they went. They sang the whole Cantata with narration for the surrounding neighbors. Their singing would sound like shouting to many of you because their little voices have not been fine tuned. But the message was clear and the neighborhood was touched.
