Black Lives Matter
We will continue to listen, learn, pray, and love. We will teach our children to do the same. Change starts here and now… This last week was heavy, hard, and good. Every time I wanted to look away and step back into my old comfort zone, I forced myself to stay: stay in the uncomfortable […]
