It’s on a beautiful Sunday morning, just like a norm, almost all the local channels play gospel music, so this day is no exception. I’m this kind of a person who rarely listen to radio, but on this particular day I get attracted by the gospel music in one of the local channels and then the songs plays, what a wonderful track!
