Harmony

Today was Stake Conference and we had a satellite broadcast from SLC. What I gleaned from the talks was the importance of keeping our covenants and doing the simple things that bring strength and power to our lives. It made me think of a a musical element called harmony. Harmony is a more advanced concept to teach and perform but when done well, it adds incredible beauty. I was in a professional singing group at one time and I remember this moment when we were singing a French ballet and all of our voices became perfectly in tune. It was this amazing moment and was so powerful. At the moment that our voices became perfectly in tune, they were miraculously magnified. Even though none of us were singing louder, the sound filled the church where we were singing. I remember becoming so overwhelmed with this feeling that that must be what it is like to have our life in harmony with the Lord's commandments. That is what it is like to have our life in tune with our Savior. We become miraculously magnified and it surrounds us with power to make something ordinary into something heavenly.
