This week I’ve been a little below the radar due to the fact that I’ve been teaching music in my church’s Vacation Bible School. Each day I’ve had three rotations of children coming through my choir room, singing, dancing, signing, having an absolute blast! As near as I can tell, I’ve had somewhere between 150 - 170 [...]
