God fills the autumn afternoons in Wisconsin with soft breezes. He paints the forests in yellows, oranges and reds, and wrings the humidity from the air. And God gives Wisconsinites one more gift on Sundays in the fall: the Green Bay Packers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On a particularly perfect Sunday for a game last year, I was meant to be in front of the TV watching my team face off against the Cincinnati Bengals. But I had a dilemma. My daughter, Katie, was a student at Gustavus Adolphus College in Saint Peter, Minnesota, a couple hours\u2019 drive from home. She played piccolo in the band, and had invited her mother and me to attend the Sunday concert\u2014my Packers vs. Bengals Sunday\u2014in Christ\u2019s Chapel at the school. If Katie wanted me there, I had to be there. That didn\u2019t make it any easier to give up my front seat to the televised game. The teams were pretty evenly matched, and it was going to be a nail-biter.<\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t they have any respect for professional football in that state where Katie goes to school?\u201d I said to my wife, Trish, on the way there.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019ll survive,\u201d she said, but I wasn\u2019t finished. \u201cIt just seems like somebody didn\u2019t get the memo,\u201d I continued. \u201cHow could they schedule a band concert this afternoon? I feel like God\u2019s calling me elsewhere.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGod is not calling you to watch football<\/a>,\u201d said Trish.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not that I was against band concerts in general. I appreciate a rousing march played before kickoff as much as the next guy. But band concerts, in my experience, tended to be short on rousing marches. Or rousing anything. They favored multi-movement pieces written by men I\u2019d never heard of. At least I had Katie\u2019s piccolo parts to concentrate on while she was onstage.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy the way,\u201d Trish said casually, \u201cit\u2019s not just Katie\u2019s band playing this afternoon. The elite band is performing too, and so is the orchestra.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnyone else?\u201d I asked just to be sarcastic.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cYes,\u201d said Trish. \u201cBoth choral groups will perform, as a matter of fact.\u201d I wanted to bang my head against the windshield.<\/p>\n

When we got to Saint Peter, we took Katie out to lunch, then dropped her off at her dorm to pick up her piccolo and music. Trish and I headed over to the chapel to find a seat. <\/p>\n

I\u2019d heard a lot about Christ\u2019s Chapel\u2014the school was quite proud of it\u2014but I\u2019d never been inside. It was designed by the same man who designed the chapel at the Air Force Academy and was specially constructed to provide excellent acoustics. Stepping through the door, I stopped to look up at the vaulted ceilings and soaring stained-glass windows. When Trish and I walked down the aisle, our footsteps rang out with amazing clarity. \u201cThey weren\u2019t kidding about these acoustics,\u201d I said. \u201cWhy don\u2019t we go up front?\u201d<\/p>\n

Trish looked at me in surprise, since I usually preferred the back rows of an audience. But I wanted Katie to see us there supporting her<\/a>. We sat close enough to overhear the conductor giving the musicians a last-minute pep talk. It made me wonder what Coach was saying to the Packers in the locker room. To keep myself focused, I picked up the concert program. Big mistake. Fugues, quartets, concerto in F flat\u2014the list of performances was long, and all the italics made it seem even longer. I am definitely going to miss the whole game.<\/em> I turned off my cell phone to guard against the temptation to watch it in secret. I couldn\u2019t risk the possibility that I\u2019d start cheering in the middle of a fugue.<\/p>\n

Already I squirmed in my seat. Tapped my foot on the floor. My taps echoed in surround sound. Trish glanced over at me sharply. I had to do something to relax while I was stuck in this\u2026chapel. But of course! A good prayer was in order<\/a>: God, let me feel your presence. Guide my spirit to find yours. Bring me closer to you. And above all, help me stop worrying about the Packers and keep my mind on the concert.<\/em> I was ready to face the music.<\/p>\n

A choir took the stage. As a final preparation, I put my program away so I wouldn\u2019t get involved in a countdown. God was here to help me through this, I told myself.<\/p>\n

All at once, the choir members opened their mouths in song. I\u2019d heard plenty of choirs in my life, from neighborhood church choirs to professional choirs who sang on the world stage. I thought I knew what to expect. But this was a completely different experience. The melodic voices seemed to wash over me. I listened, transfixed by the sound. The music seemed to touch all my senses.<\/a> I not only heard it; I felt it in every fiber of my being. This is more than song,<\/em> I thought. More than acoustics.<\/em><\/p>\n

I closed my eyes and felt myself being carried. Literally carried, as if on the wings of angels, beyond the vaulted ceilings and up into the sunlit sky. My earthly distractions fell away as I rose. The world was in God\u2019s hands. All of it. I felt strangely relieved when I realized I\u2019d lost all interest in who would win the game. There would always be another game, but this was a moment to celebrate. I was so elated I almost joined the choir in singing.<\/a><\/p>\n

Eventually I came back down to earth. I was a little disappointed when I opened my eyes, looked around, and realized I was still part of the world\u2014and, admittedly, I still really wanted the Packers to beat the Bengals. But I knew I was right where I was called to be on that particular autumn Sunday. Katie had never played so well, and the Packers even managed to win without me.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
