Personal Thoughts
The last week has been fairly epic hasn’t it? Not only with the election results a week ago, but personally in my family.

Music A Balm For My Soul
After making the decision to be at Grandma’s church this summer I get to sing especially for her. Earlier my allergies kept me from singing, but I am able to be in choir and now as of today I am ready for Sunday morning. When Brenda asked me if I had anything special to sing…
