A glass harmonica, plus a little joy from Whoopi Goldberg & company...

   In case you were wondering what that glass harmonica looks like...   

  We are God's instruments!  Our celebration of Pentecost, the birth of the Church, is a reminder that it's up to us to make a joy-filled noise unto the Lord, to give voice to God's Good News with all that we are and all that we live, with voices lifted in prayer and in song... and I can't imagine doing that more powerfully than the kids in the videoclip below, in a movie that, while panned by critics, nevertheless has this amazing rendition of one amazingly joyful hymn!

Joyful, joyful, we adore thee, God of glory, Lord of love, 
Hearts unfold like flowers before thee, opening to the sun above. 
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness, drive the dark of doubt away. 
Giver of immortal gladness, fill us with the light of day! 

To hear Sister Act 2's rocking version of this hymn of joy
(including an energetic Whoopi Goldberg)
