Dale sings in two of the choirs at his church. We usually prepare Saturday because he is able to get up and out independently. I asked him “so Dale, what color do you have to wear tomorrow?” I asked because depending on which choir is performing depends on what color they may wear. Some Sunday’s they even wear robes, those are his favorite.
Any hoot, he mumbles as he’s walking away, with a hint of disgust in his voice and says “I don’t know, no one said anything to me today at rehearsal, I don’t get the whole color thing anyway, God said come as you are!!”

I have never been in a position where I can say I looked forward to coming to work, but I do just to hear what Dale has said or done the evening before. I love that you have decided to share some of your stories. They have motivated me in ways I may not even express. Keep them coming.
What a great response…I love his honesty! He truly understands who he is serving, who cares what you wear, the spirit and purpose is just that, it’s what’s in the heart that matters not what’s on your back. The performance is for God.
