When I stand before God at the end of my life I would hope that I have not a 
single bit of talent left and could say, "I used everything You gave me."

> Friends,
>
> A minor short-term prayer request...
>
> I got an email earlier today from the rector of our former parish in
> Virginia Beach, asking if I was available for a funeral tomorrow
> afternoon. (I have continued to play for funerals, etc. there, when
> their organist can not disentangle himself from his day job.)
>
> This will be the first time I have played the organ since leaving my
> position in Portsmouth in mid-November, and the first time with people
> knowing me as Kristin. And it will be the first time I visit that church
> since the name change. The last time I visited there, I attended a
> midweek eucharist and afterwards came out to the rector there and told
> him that I had announced my resignation earlier that week. (So it helped
> that we had touched base on the subject, so that we didn't need to sort
> that out with a funeral barely 24 hours away. And that conversation,
> combined with his email being addressed to Kristin, led me to be able to
> respond positively and quickly.)
>
> On the more comfortable side, unlike St John's, the organ at Old
> Donation is in a gallery above the back of the church, so there is less
> of the feeling of being "on display" at the front of the church
> (especially since I don't own vestments so will either need to borrow a
> set or play in whatever I am wearing). And now, I will need to consider
> my clothes and decide which would be most appropriate for a funeral. Oh
> yes, and also find where my organ shoes and Hymnal are! (Either in the
> bag they were brought home in on my final day or still in one of our
> vehicles.)
