The toques are on Christian vocals.

September 4th 2008

The most interesting part of a small town in America is the prevalence of Christianity. Churches are like Starbucks (or Tim Hortons) here one every block. I can’t say that the same is true in Canada, though I haven’t really lived in anything smaller than 1 million people. Our new home is filled with lovely inspirational reminders of what it means to belong to a good Christian family. Including the word “Cherish” written on the notebook left with instructions from the couple whose home we have taken over for a couple of years. We have wonderful reminders of how to thank Jesus each time we take our shoes out of the closet where the shelves are labeled Christian Vocals, Praise/Worship, and Piano/Christian. When I need my toque (and it is cold here already) I just ask HippieHusband and he says, “the toques are on Christian Vocals.” As an evolutionary biologist living in small town America, I can't help but think that this is just the tip of the iceberg.
