You know how sometimes you think a thought and it just happens? I call that God. Some people call it synchronisity. For instance, when I was pastoring a church, a super ratty sofa graced our church “parlor”–we’re talking broken back and exposed stuffing. One day I decided to put a want ad in the church newsletter–Wanted: one sofa, good condition. Almost as soon as I hit send, I received a phone call from a church member with a sofa in need of a good home–and the colors of the sofa went perfectly with the parlor’s oriental rug. What of that??

Last week, I had my mind on music. I was thinking about how important music is to a wedding service. It sets the mood and it can also connect us to the divine. I wanted to connect with some good musicians who I could recommend to prospective brides and grooms, in other words, to You. God or synchronicity intervened. Last Saturday I met a wonderful, talented guitarist named George Washburn at a wedding service at which I was officiating. I am hesitant to publish his phone number here, but email me at gaylee@weddingpreacherforhire.com and I will let you know how he can be reached. The next day, Sunday, I was preaching at a local church. A very talented harpist provided special music for the service. Her name is Kris Cushman. She can be reached at dolceharpduo@gmail.com. She and her co-harpist frequently play at weddings. Finally, today (Friday) I talked with a friend, Heather Hightower, who has started her own business as a vocalist. I have heard her sing often. I can vouch for the exquisite-ness of her voice. You can listen to her wonderful rendition of Ave Maria on her website: www.heatherhightower.com. I have a feeling I will have a few more musicians to recommend in the days and months ahead. Synchronicity, God… isn’t it wonderful? Wedding Preacher
