Yesterday, I was working from home. I was sitting at my desk in my bedroom, and unfortunately, I was really mad at some people. And I really wanted to let it go. I wanted to forgive and be happy and love. But it just was not happening. I was mad. I felt that they had wronged me and I felt hurt.

I was listening to my Les Miserables pandora station, and I was singing along and loving it, but some songs that were coming on were about people being angry, and I just couldn't handle any more anger, so I scrolled through my many pandora stations to look for something a little more peaceful. I decided on my Mormon Tabernacle Choir station. Now, I love being at church and singing hymns, a whole lot, but honestly, sometimes listening to church-type songs is not the most exciting thing to me. I love the gospel and I love music, but I guess I'm just picky about what music I like to listen to.

However, listening to church music was really wonderful this time. I had been working for a few hours with this music playing, and I suddenly realized that the music had really brought the spirit into my room. I felt so much peace and hope. And although I still felt mad, I felt like I would be able to forgive. I started looking at the situation that had upset me more objectively. It was really a wonderful thing.

I guess I just wanted to say that music about Christ and his life and his gospel and about things that are uplifting can really bring the spirit. I know it.
