I wanted to share a spiritual piece for Christmas this year, but instead, I have found myself deeply moved by Dan Vasc, a heavy metal singer. His rendition of 'Amazing Grace' has captivated me with his strong voice, striking appearance, and an incredible performance. Despite my initial desire for a more traditional spiritual experience, I have found joy and transcendence in Dan's music and presence. This unexpected holiday gift has made me reflect on the beauty of hymns and the joy they bring, especially during the holiday season.
