Hallelujah!

There is a Seventh Day Adventist church across the street from us, and they often have mid-week services. Yesterday evening we had heard some people over there and guessed that a gathering or service of some sort was happening. A while later, suddenly singing burst out, "Hallelujah! Hallelujah!" It took less than a millisecond to recognize the words and the tune; it was most definitely the hallelujah chorus! It was pretty random and a bit crazy to hear the hallelujah chorus (in English!) bursting out of our little neighborhood SDA church on a Wednesday evening.

Later that evening we were making dinner in the kitchen and, as usual, listening to our neighbors in the house next door. Let's just say their house is very close and that their kids (and adults!) are often very loud. Anyway, we started laughing when we heard one little kid running around the yard singing, "Hallelujah, hallelujah!" It was kind of a pleasant change from the usual neighbor noise!
