Most of us think we have it together, at least most of the time. We try to have a balance on all things “life” – work, family, time management, enjoying the “little” moments, and so on. It’s all the stuff that you can read about in some magazine found in the check-out line at the grocery store - “How To Get Your Life Together,” or something like that. Then again, if we take a closer look (some of us don’t…

So what is happening when we put a sound system in a church or in any enclosed room? Why is the sound sometimes clear in one part of the church but only a few seats away we can hardly hear anything at all while another few seats down it is very loud, or if we hear we cannot understand what is being said? Why is it when the speakers were brought in and demonstrated on stands they sounded great on…
