Playing in the Band

It has been almost 9 years since I have played in the band at church.  I quit playing after I got married and started going to church in Godfrey.  The main reason that I didn’t play in the band in Godfrey was because I didn’t have a saxophone to play.  The one that I used in St. Louis belonged to the church, so I couldn’t bring it with me.  I really miss playing my saxophone.  Every time they play a fast song I miss it!!!! 

Well, now I am rambling.  But anyway,  I was talking to Scott the other day and telling him that I really would like to get back in the band, but there is only one thing hindering me……NO SAXOPHONE!!!!!  Now that they have changed band practice times I can make it to band practice,  I just need to find a horn.  I looked on ebay and all the saxophones on there were really expensive, so my hopes got diminished there.  So last Sunday in between services I called my mom and asked her if she would ask Bro. Miller if he would be willing to sell the saxophone that I used to play to me.  She said that she would and then Diana Fischer, a very good friend of mine that is the piano player at Bro. Millers told my mom that they would give me her mother’s saxophone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   I was SHOCKED!!!!!!!!!!!!  It is a beautiful horn.  After her mother died, she had it restored and it looks like a brand new saxophone.  I told her that I couldn’t just take the horn, but she said she knew that is was going to someone who was going to use it to play for the Lord and not for anything else!!!!!!!!! 

So now I will be part of the band in Godfrey and I couldn’t be happier!!!  I am truly very blessed!!!!!!!!
