This is for those of you who go to Chris­t­ian churches. (Every­one else, you can check out now.)

Prob­lem: rep­e­ti­tion of choruses.

Two times is enough. As soon as the third time starts, my brain is gone. I’m off some­where else. Maybe try­ing to roam the wheat fields of Kansas. My prob­lem is that I have a brain. It’s not the finest brain around, but it does work, most of the time. And singing the same thing over and over is not only bor­ing to me — the tedium can be painful.

For what it’s worth — those of you who make choices in these things, give us a lit­tle more vari­ety. Twice as many songs in the same amount of time isn’t a bad thing.

Prob­lem two: I also have a prob­lem with the same songs being repeated each week. I get tired of that kind of rep­e­ti­tion too! I’m just bro­ken. (This goes back to high school. I dis­cov­ered that I didn’t like pop­u­lar radio because the same songs were played over and over. I got quickly bored — again, to the point of tedium.)
