Something About Me and My Book:
Young David and his grandfather, on their daily trek to find medicine to treat his grandfather's worsening illness, suddenly stumble upon a thriving, prosperous village one day. Filled with warm, personable individuals, the village is rife with the spirit of community and shared responsibility, and the two of them are instantly welcomed. Fitting right in, over the next few years the village ultimately becomes their new home, and all of them - David, his grandfather, and the villagers alike - couldn't be happier.

Eventually, everyone becomes aware of a special anointing on David's life: his gift of artistry. After amazing everyone with his ability to draw anything in precise, expert fashion. He accepts their request to become the lead art teacher for the community. It isn't long, though, before greed gets the best of David, and he begins charging fees for his teachings and services - which completely violates the communal spirit of the village. Though he is eventually shunned and ostracized for his actions, David refuses to relent, and his selfishness soon brings gloom and despair to everyone around him.

In light of the tragic circumstances that ensue, David is confronted with a life-altering decision: either amend his self-serving ways out of respect for his divine gifts, or live the rest of his life in self- imposed isolation, from which no one benefits in the end.

    Hello young what uplifting and bless site you have. Praising i just love music and my spirit was jus moved by it. This reminds me of when i was younger me and brothers would here those old time gospel songs and hymms. And bring back when my dad and his cousin use come by and practice the songs before singing for the church chorus. And I also about the environment aspect which is good too. Me and my mother always love plant flowers, and brush within the yard. And we would grow vegetables, and fruits as well.

    I pray the good lord blesses you and your family. If you have any suggests for me please send me right away. thank you for adding me.
