A Sentimental Song

Posted on January 28, 2009 by Jerry Wilson

I started proofing the test copy of the book this evening.  Haven’t gotten too far into it, but I’m happy with how few glitches I’ve found.  Either I did a very good job during the first proofread or I’m not paying enough attention — hopefully the former!

As I’m reading it, even with the need to keep my proofreader’s editor hat on the joy of seeing it actually before me in printed form is starting to take root.  It’s not so much a sense of “I did it” or “it’s done” but rather that it exists as tangible evidence of what put me on the road back Home.  I pray it does the same for those who read it who, like me, need to hear the song calling them back to where they first believed.  Not a nostalgia trip, but a reconnection with the living Christ.

Yes, there is a touch of sentimentality in all this.  But sometimes, being sentimental is a good thing.  Depends what you’re sentimental for.

P.S.  I couldn’t find anything on YouTube for “A Sentimental Song” by the Choir, but I did run across this video someone put together for “Beautiful Scandalous Night.”  Enjoy.
