My heart aches. I don’t know about you, but Gaza is like a really dark cloud, that I can pretend doesn’t exist and is not that big of a deal, but it is. I know it is and you know it is. The horrific deaths I have seen on the internet. We have seen-if you... Continue Reading →
*you are worthy* 🖤
The irony of the lines “you are worthy” is that they are a common Christian phrase, thrown up on farmhouse style banners around the house, yet in Church, it is not a rare moment to hear how unworthy we are of God’s love, how undeserving.
