  MUSIC TO CALM THEIR FEARS

  Jesus instructed us to use our talents for His glory, and that is what I try to do with my music.

  OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD

  Several years ago I volunteered for the first time at the Operation Christmas Child processing center. As I inspected some of the shoe box gifts, I noticed several didn’t have anything in them except hygiene items and school supplies.
