GWO Spring Concert

A favorite aspect of motherhood is watching your children grow, mature, and shine in their God-given gifts.  When they were really young, I spent a lot of time at the Little League softball and baseball fields.  As they grew older I attended concerts and art exhibits.

My son, Sean, plays in the Gustavus Wind Orchestra at Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter, MN.  As a member of the percussion section, he’s had a lot of opportunities at GAC to learn and play excellent music.  Since the college is only a short hour’s drive from our home, we’ve been able to hear him play a number of concerts.  All of the concerts that GWO performed this year were in the lovely Christ Chapel on the Gustavus campus.  I had a lot of quiet times in this chapel and am especially fond of the place.
