Violin Blog - Part 2
Ok, let's talk about the violin a little before the videos start. I think playing the violin is one thing, but playing the violin in worship is something a little different.

HOPE in the Lord to renew my Strength!
I'm so excited about going to China that i could just pop. However, there is much to do! The Tour wrapped up this weekend. And what an awesome tour it was. What an honor to get to travel the country encouraging Believers and sharing the Gospel with those who don't know Christ yet! God did some great things and we have been greatly encouraged by the letters and emails from concert go-ers!
We have done 82 concerts...
