Can Somebody Pray?

For a couple of days now, I’ve noticed that my forehead is tender to the touch. When I run my fingers across it, it’s sore, sensitive and hurts . . . like the way your skin feels before you get the flu, kind of achy. Curious. It wasn’t until yesterday that […]

Gentle Reminders

So I had a blast last night.  The concert ended up being so much fun.  The choir was amazing.  The musicians were their typically awesome selves.  And I don’t think I could ever get enough of singing next to the likes of Collinus, Michelle, Julie, and Ayinde.  Truly, I feel like I’m in the flow […]
