Hello everyone, I hope you had a good week. The family and friends of the sick and shut-in are in my prayers. For many of you who have lost a loved one recently, I pray you have the courage to remember the good times and remember they are in a better place. You should play some music or hum a tune and I promise it will take your heart to a better place. Music is a good thing, it soothes the soul!
