this morning I walked into Will’s room and found that he had snagged Seth Primm’s music sheets from the “Present in the City - The Fatherless” event earlier this week. Not only had he snagged them, but he had copied the lyrics of “Bound Together” word for word onto another piece of paper so that he “could play the notes”.
Then, to my surprise, he asked if he could play the song for me.
After it was over he asked a simple question…
“When we go to Africa can I play it for all the orphans we meet?”
In this simple question he asks some much bigger questions with the expectations that we will return and when we do we will be serving those children whom he was signing about.
