Having sung in many different choirs, ensembles, etc, etc...I have a great love for vocal music of just about any sort.
Last week, my in-laws treated us to an evening out on the town in Cincinnati. It began with a great meal at Benihana's, a Japanese steakhouse which promotes "an experience at every table."
The evening continued with a performance from Chanticleer in the St. Peter in Chains Cathedral downtown Cincinnati. First of all, the cathedral was a beautiful place of worship and acoustical magic. Add to that the vocal perfection of an a capella wonder machine like Chanticleer and the result is a listening experience which borders on the surreal. It was incredible.
The group is based in San Francisco, but apparently has made Cincinnati one of its annual stops (perhaps because of the amazing venue which the cathedral provides).
Well, the point is...we had a wonderful evening with the in-laws and are so blessed to be in Cincinnati surrounded by family. Of course, that doesn't mean I want to continue living in their basement....but it's great to be beneficiaries of their benevolence and presence. Actually, we're hoping to be back out on our own and planted in the Milford area of Cincinnati within a month or so.
The search for what the calling, vocation, and livelihood might look like in the near future is certainly still underway. We continue to see our new church community as an exciting and potentially missional and Kingdom-oriented gathering of Christ followers.

How cool!! I got to hear them in OKC a few years back, but the venue wasn't nearly as suited. Just wanted you to know that even though I don't actually know you and your wife, my husband and I have been in that spot of searching for our place in His kingdom of service, so we'll keep praying for ya. His timing is absolutely perfect! (albeit frustrating at times ;)
