"This is gonna be so lit." - was my first thought.
The Jesuit Ursuline Ranger Bande (JURB) 2016 Spring Retreat took place Friday, April 1 through Saturday, April 2nd.
The band spent Friday night at the Lakeview Camp and Retreat Center in Waxahachie.
After an hour of practice to wake us up on Friday morning, we had our service project with NETWORK Community Ministries in Richardson....
Artist. Â You can't spell artist without "i" and "start," appropriately so. Â Physically starting the creative process of crafting art is the hardest part for an artist. Â The vision.
