Singing Behind Tall People

Story★★★

When I was a kid in high school, I joined choir. My twin brother and I were very timid, so we would always get behind the tall people so that we could just be part of the choir without singing loud or showing our faces. We went through the motions but didn’t really sing.

Also attributed to: Preacher's own experience

Arnall, Jeremy, “The Song of Glory” (AudioVerse teaching 31328).
