A "Hallelujah" too noisy -Aleluyaaaa, aaaaleluya, aleluyaaaa, aaaaleluya.
Instead of singing birds sound over the tops of Bogotá that urapanes podrían acompañar las solitarias mañanas de domingo, esta frase retumba mis oídos sirviéndome de despertador -sagradamente- cada siete días. Son los cantos desafinados de alguien detrás de un micrófono consagrado en un garaje, con unos cuantos gatos feligreses que lo acompañan en sus tonadas alabando al santísimo la profunda fe que le profesan. No hay excepción así sea un primero de enero, o quizás un primero de mayo. El bien llamado pastor, que lleva las riendas de esa iglesia, no tiene vacaciones ninguna semana del consagrado año. Me consta...
Y es que sólo basta con cruzar la calle, y contar 5 casas y/o edificios después mine more precisely in the other corner, where an old and ugly building I have always lived in coastal and whose neglect the facade gives full faith in my statement (the ugly, not the coast) gather Sunday some Christians to pray to God for all profits earned in the week. The place, of not more than 20 square meters, a few years ago served as a garage, and after a very poor store, where today stands the " United Pentecostal Church of Colombia " and where the minister boasts his peculiar talent with speakers powerful enough so you can listen to an entire block, prayers their lungs.

Un-Aleluyaaaa, aaaaleluya , aleluyaaaa, aaaaleluya-she still staying with me last week, to the extent that some songs are about in my head if that Sunday, I have bad luck to stay in my humble abode. I have understood that some neighbors do not disturb the steady aleluyeo Sunday, as I dare to call it, because they never put noise complaints or claims, or the soaring decibels they are subjected to having a few blocks one can see the ISC said.
My cousin, a tenth semester student of medicine, has had to undergo this therapy holy, because his study is in theory, closer to the church and seems designed acoustically to rumble In the strongest songs of praise. So more than one part, you have probably had to invoke the "Virgin Mary" for her marksmanship, and often excessive noise breaks your concentration when you learned when muscles, procedures and drugs involved. I have witnessed that even he has had to move to Library Luis Angel Arango "to study quietly and without noise. Yes, here has tried to express the problem, the complaint but we have always said that we are not violating any rules. I do not know if they are right, if in theory are driving the maximum allowable decibels, but I think it is a complete exaggeration to put in a garage, I repeat, no more than 20 square meters and with no more than 10 people inside, a power amplifier with microphone to acclimate barbaric a good bar. I think that border on the absurd, it is not necessary or by others, neighbors who did not attend that church, nor are we interested in the least profess their faith, heard every Sunday from eight or nine o'clock:
-Aleluyaaaa, aaaaleluya, aleluyaaaa, aaaaleluya.
If the noise problem extends in some places by the noise emitted by bars and clubs near residential neighborhoods, there should also be strict control to such churches also disturb the tranquility of the inhabitants of any neighborhood. If you call the police because a neighbor will fly until after four o'clock and the "loud music", should also restrict the use of amplifiers and microphones in a place that, in fact, does not deserve to have it. To be clear, I am not denying the Christian churches or anything, it does not intend to hurt feelings in religious matters, just do your inappropriate emphasis on its modus operandi profess faith.
... Night falls and finally, after a noisy rested Sunday night in the deep peace of this holy day itself. Maybe a week passes without any new routines and return back to take over the inhabitants of this block. But as soon as Saturday comes, and with him Sunday morning, my ears did not hear the soft singing of a few birds, but again this Sunday aleluyeo every seven days to give an end to my dreams, when the pastor Strongly begin their prayers to the Blessed, and a few parishioners cats up early to accompany him on his off-key sonata to praise the Lord with a:
-Aleluyaaaa, aaaaleluya, aleluyaaaa, aaaaleluya.
