An Angel Dancing

On a mission trip to Puerto Rico, a youth group were around a campfire praising the Lord and suddenly one of the group saw an angel at the fire..then another took a 15 sec clip of the angel dancing at the bonfire.

I've been teaching piano for over 20 years to children ages 6 and up to adults. One of the most frustrating things I've found is that most of them don't want to practice. They're either distracted by other more tantalizing things like sports or tv or video games or friends just want them to come out and play. The adults have a hard time finding time.
