so is he keeping the harpsichord at his church? seems like a great way to: attend service, play in public, and share it with others

enjoyed the article!

It's an extended metaphor... the harpischord is the author's blog, the church is the community of readers and other bloggers.
Drat, I also thought he was actually building and playing harpsichords.
Author here!

My wife (also raised SDA) saw this article and literally told me,

"Oh, my aunt built a harpsichord from scratch when I was a kid"

Looks like my metaphor wasn't so farfetched haha

I... completely didn't get that it was a metaphor.

I also still very much agree with Joe. Everyone derives pleasure from other avenues.

For me it's playing an actual musical instrument with other people. Not writing blogs.

I also thought this was an actual harpsichord rather than a metaphor, until I followed the hyperlink back to your blog.
