Weekly Challenge: Spread the Word to End the Word
Every Sunday as I step on the platform at my church to play drums, I am greeted without fail by two mentally challenged adults who sit in the same 3rd row pew every week. They are always bright and cheery and even when I'm preoccupied with the song ...
