The Seventh Day Adventist church across the street ...
They are having some sort of fair today. They have a band - electric piano, guitars and synthesizer. They are playing country music and hymns. Loud. It's torture. They play the same hymns Catholics do - that Haas - Gather Us In crap. Mixed in with Grand ole-ole-ole Opry style songs, like Minnie Pearl would sing.
Horn! Horn! HORN!
When did it turn into a 7th day church?
ReplyDeleteOriginally it was Lutheran - but since I moved in it's been 7th Day - the Ethiopians used it on Sundays for awhile until they got their own church. Now the Evangelical Latinos bought it and will soon move in.
DeleteI grew up Catholic - Gregorian chant and so on - in 2nd grade no less, we rehearsed Greg. chant - specifically the Mass of Our Lady. I never ever liked American Protestant anything - but church music is the worst.
Oddly enough - I stayed for Mass after confession in another parish, and the music was like a piano bar - the pianist was really good, and post communion was a Josh Groban song - I made it through and was able to make my thanksgiving without paying attention to the music. It becomes white noise for me, I may not have consolation in prayer, but I'm content after communion - no matter what. Praise God.
"Adaptive Sound Technologies - Sound+Sleep, Sleep Therapy System": Amazon- I got mine about a year ago, & would be in really bad shape with it. Expensive but totally worth it. Noise as you describe is horribly stressful.
ReplyDeleteI'll check it out - thanks!
