		<description><![CDATA[A quick one for the liturgical musicians: You hear kids mis-speak or mis-sing lots of songs, hymns, and prayers. However, I&#8217;d never had one sing the end of the Sanctus as &#8220;O-bam-a in the high-est!&#8221; before this past Sunday. Conservatives can keep their political snark to themselves. I just thought it was cute.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=djlauria.wordpress.com&amp;blog=8559225&amp;post=210&amp;subd=djlauria&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
