You wouldn’t think that an angel would suffer from an “ear worm”. But this pesky tune somehow burrowed in and I could not get rid of it. I had it for what seemed like an eternity. It was really annoying. This little tune cut through all the music of the celestial spheres and the heavenly choirs. Yes. I’m talking big, time tune trouble. One of my clients at HP (more about those poor folks later) suggested that I try something her pastor recommends. Evidently, one is supposed to follow a special protocol: “name it and claim it”. But I knew right away that the protocol could not possibly work. After all, Sistertech’s problem was that she did not know the name of the tune. If I couldn’t name it, how could I claim it?
Tom the Intern was no help. He didn’t recognize the tune at all. Cecilia, or Cee-Cee as I call her, said it sounded like Stevie Wonder’s You Are The Sunshine of My Life. I mean, I love Stevie, but this was not one of his tunes. So I went to P-Diddy’s studio. No, not that one. David. You know, Psalm Diddy. Or just P-Diddy, for short. He listened and instantly knew the tune.
Oh. What’s the tune? I don’t think The One In Charge would be happy if I inflicted it upon others. As it was, it took P-Diddy an hour to, um, de-worm Sistertech. P-Diddy downloaded some psalms for me. Some of his classic stuff and a new one he’s working on. He set me up in this soundproof booth and turned up the volume. Ah! Ear worm gone. Psalm 40 has taken on a whole new meaning for me:
The One In Charge put a new song in my mouth,
a song of praise to our God.
Many will see and fear,
and put their trust in The One In Charge.
