Jubal’s Jottings

So, on Saturday my daughter sent me a text saying that she had looked at the songs that would be sung in her church on Palm Sunday…and there were going to be NO Hosanna songs! I responded to her that I was sad about that, and I was certain that MY church would have some Hosanna songs. So, with anticipation I entered the worship space listening for every Hosanna that was said and/or sung. The children came in, waving little palm branch replicas…BUT, no one EVER said or sang Hosanna the whole time!

Should I be legalistic about this…is it a rule to say or sing Hosanna on Palm Sunday? I suppose not, but then again, you would still think that just maybe on Palm Sunday someone would be able to slip in at least ONE Hosanna for those of us who were trying to make our church look better than those churches that completely ignore the whole day! Maybe?

So, Jubal…any thoughts about that one? I was sure I had one up on my daughter and her church, but I guess not!
