Tony Melendez performs for Pope John Paul II

I had the rare privilege of seeing this incredibly inspirational man perform for me and a lot of my fellow parishioners at our church last fall. The spirit this man exudes and his talent displayed in his music that he so willingly shares with others is truly amazing and a testament to his faith.

He could easily have played the victim in his life. Instead he chose to overcome his disabilities and be an inspiration to others because of his perseverance to live a normal life. By doing so, he seems to be living a blessed life in many ways. I know I felt blessed that I was able to see this man perform live. It was indeed an uplifting experience.
