| Sing it loud, sing it...okay, maybe not so loud? |
❦
While I was at home tuning in to a livestream of a church service one Sunday morning, I kept finding myself distracted by a volunteer front stage singing off-key in the choir. My ears are sensitive to super loud and uncomfortable noises, which can sometimes be difficult for me to tune out. I don't consider myself an expert when it comes to singing. But here is this person, expressing their love for God, singing with all their heart to a beautiful worship song, all with the best of intentions...and they sound, well...tone-deaf. And it made me feel a little guilty that I was feeling a bit put-off by the sound of this one volunteer, who most likely really enjoyed what they're doing.
Since it was a livestream (and I don't know the person), chances are I'd probably say nothing and go on with my day. But I imagine it may be different confronting a loved one or someone you know personally. Some people can be very sensitive when it comes to hearing criticism about the sound of their voice, while others not so much.
