Back when I was the ward music chair, I tried to pick hymns that were seasonally appropriate. Christmas and Easter were easy. Other times of the year were harder. I would scour the calendar at timeanddate.com to see what I could come up with. August 19 fell on a Sunday one year, and the calendar told me that it was National Aviation Day. As a joke, I chose Jesus, Savior, Pilot Me as one of the hymns for the day. I know the hymn is about boats and not airplanes, but I went with it. I whispered it to the person sitting next to me in the pew and we had a private laugh. Humor notwithstanding, it is a nice enough musical setting for the story of Jesus calming the storm.
