I’m the Drummer Boy
Pressure reveals the substance of our faith. The drum has been used to organise armies in a militaristic display of power. In the song of the Little Drummer Boy, the drum leads us gently to a scene that welcomed lowly shepherds, astrologers from the East, and a little baby whose army would one day wave palm branches and not swords.

If you can’t pack a photographer, you should at least budget to hire a professional one.
