Mormon Tabernacle Choir

Last night I had the opportunity to attend the Mormon Tabernacle Choir's Christmas Concert. Events like this make me incredibly grateful for a church that would put so many resources into such an organization. Relatives came from California to attend the concert and all left not only uplifted but awe struck. We then walked through Temple Square and saw the Christmas lights and visited the Joseph Smith Memorial Building. The entire night was uplifting and helped one feel like a better person. Activities like these are the kind that are necessary to lift us from one realm of thinking and acting to another. In the Goal Setting Program, users are encouraged to "have a healthy, alternate activity that you can do at anytime and that you enjoy to help keep your mind focused on an eternal perspective." While you cannot go to a Tabernacle Choir performance anytime, there are ways to use these principles in an applicable manner. Buy a Tabernacle Choir CD or DVD that you can listen to or watch. Even have it playing in the background while you go about your daily routine. If you live near a temple, visit the temple often, even if you cannot go inside. Just go to be uplifted and think higher thoughts. There are so many resources available at lds.org and byubroadcasting.org and on our own websites, that you can be constantly uplifted with alternate activities. If you are getting a satelite dish, get BYU TV. Across the nation, even without BYUTV, most can listen to the Music and the Spoken word every Sunday morning. The Church has done so much to put resources into our hands and homes that will inspire a higher level of living. Let's take advantage of this and fill our homes with those beautiful things that help us remember our purpose and destination in this life. LDSAudio.com has four songs of the Tabernacle Choir available for 3.95. The CD is Sing, Choirs of Angels. I highly recommend it. All arranged by Mack Wilberg, which means it's really good and is very moving.
