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.
