Someone named Amir took this picture of Jamie and me when I went to the singing devotional in "a nearby town". I was saying something when he snapped it, so my mouth is not smiling. I had a really good time drumming, but my hands are not conditioned for it. They are not calloused enough and I felt like I was going to pop a blood vessel. I have actually done that before when playing. So, I played easy rather than all out like Jamie did and does. I broke a blood vessel in my finger recently just trying to open something. It doesn't seem to take much.

I am looking forward to going again in a month. I can't believe how much I look forward to it. It is weird really. Weird, but not. Because those folks are so warm and reading the prayers while someone plays the piano (it could be any soothing instrument), is soo moving! People just spoke or prayed from their soul. We sang some spirituals (I call them that). You know, the call and response or echo songs. The one that I remember the most is called "Done made my vow to the Lord!" I wish it was the last Sunday already!
