For the last three weeks, we have been presenting different Hymns programs at three different Churches. In each of these places I have been surprised by unanticipated, positive events.
This is made more amazing to me because in my career as a Television Producer and Director, the essence of those positions is "control" of everything -- there are no unintended effects; the effect of the production and the emotions raised is totally intentional. If something else happened that was positive, then you took credit for it, but privately, you had to say to yourself -- I should have thought of that; that wasn't very good of me. Of course, the negative unintended result was totally unacceptable. This was my career -- creating positive moments, not negative ones.
Yet, in these three Hymn programs, it is being demonstrated to me that despite all of my planning, there is another element in the mix -- and I can only ascribe it to the Holy Spirit.
