Pianoman

There's a piano I know of that's not quite in tune.
It's never in tune.
The tuning guy comes once or twice a year, and for the rest of the year, the piano is not in tune.
I used to play guitar beside this piano.
It never sounded right.
One 'C' on the piano would not match another 'C' on the piano, and neither of those 'C's would match the 'C' note or chord on the guitar.
So nothing was ever in harmony.
Necessarily.
And yet, during church this past sunday, I contemplated the fact that although this piano has never been in tune for any sustainable amount of time, it has still made music, and church members have done their best to sing in tune with it, to the glory of our Lord.
Which is interesting to me, because, you have to wonder what it sounds like to God.
All our dissonant notes and harmonies, blended into a praise song of our God.
He's probably pleased with it.
And we should keep strumming our guitars with it.

Sidenote... this church could invest in a piano tuner ($75.00), and Piano Tuning Tool Kit ($50.00) and keep the piano in tune all the time...
