Through My Eyes

The Sights- The Sounds
Almost one year ago I shared a bit about my visit to Sight and Sound in PA. On a scale of 1 to 10 for faith-based/Christian productions – I give this company or ministry a good 9. They have always showed up with quality and class. The last show I saw there was Daniel. NextContinue reading “The Sights- The Sounds”

I love these two men. Both have been friends to me in different ways. One has mentored me in leadership. One has been my brother from another mother. We talk about everything and anything.
