[Teachldsseminary] OT -- Inspiration

[sjagnana@mac.com]

Just a quick note:  Yes to your question Is there really any right or  
wrong way to pick a hymn from our hymn book?  As our hymn books were  
put together when we were still having Sunday School Opening  
exercises and singing songs specifically relating for openings, those  
songs really are not well suited for Sacrament Meetings.  As well as  
if you are not familiar with the layout of the book your ability to  
make the best choice is definitely less.  The back of the hymnbook is  
designed to help you pick appropriately  - topic or subject - so you  
can make a good choice.  Also as beautiful as primary songs are they  
are best used in primary for the most part unless the theme works.   
Okay enough.

My thought on this is, that it is her calling and she should be  
getting the
inspiration as to which hymns would be the best fit for the meeting.  Is
there really a right or wrong way to pick a hymn from our hymn book?   
It is
not worth hard feelings over...sometimes we need to let the small  
things go.
