Since so many of you like to sing, I found a song you hopefully will enjoy. I realize it is some time before Easter. However, God is the Great I Am, el Todopoderoso y nuestro Padre quien está en el cielo, dentro de todos nosotros y en todos lugares. All you have to do is cry out to Him when you are in need. He answers all of your prayers and watches over sus queridos niños. Les echo de menos a ustedes muchísimo y no puedo esperar hasta que todos nosotros regresemos a SBS como una clase de nuevo. Mil gracias por ser quien eres... una obra de arte pintoresca creado por el Maestro de todo, Dios, al igual su Hijo, Jesús Cristo.¡Qué voz pura tiene ella!
