Song

There was an unusual occurrence at the high school today. In the morning the teachers were told to be aware of any activity regarding race or religion because of the election. Later than morning they put on a show for Veterans Day and the choir and band put on a wonderful performance which included singing, “The Battle Hymn of the Republic”. If you are not familiar with the lyrics here is one stanza: In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea, With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me; As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free! While God is marching on. In this day of political correctness I was pleased and surprised that this song was chosen.
