I received a very sad e-mail from our district office today informing us that my friend and colleague Pat Conolly died. He was only 37 years old. I am going to the viewing tomorrow. I am so sad for his wife and his church. (He is one of the founding pastors of New Life Fellowship in Little Falls, NJ. Sometimes God's ways are very strange to me.

On a happier note, I am really happy I joined the Ocean County Chorus. We are doing some beautiful pieces including the Testament of Freedom by Randell Thomson and the John Rutter patriotic piece. The concert is going to be really great.
