2021 Messiah Concert.

[RICREYNOLDSMUSIC]

As one raised in poverty in Chicago, moving to Salt Lake City with $60 dollars in my pocket, I went to this with some Larsen children and it changed my life. Being a long hair rock guitarist, it humbled me and set in me a glorious feeling in spirit and mind.One of the most joyous periods of my life.

The finest instrument God created is the human voice.

[guardianangel]

I'll never forget when I sang this in my school choir concert. I had to fight crying while I was singing because the Holy Spirit was so strong!
I always wonder how these guys do it in the Tabernacle Choir without crying because I know for a fact the Holy Spirit is strong with them!
💪🏼🕊🌞🙏🏼😇
