…”the people who refuse to bring the simple and universal truth into their consciousness – all human beings are created equal – and they make choices about how to live their lives”
Treason or Consequences?
It is horrifying…and we let it happen, with the help of our “friends” in government.
How Do We Make Room for Redemption?
I am pretty sure I am only able to get up every morning because I believe there is hope; I believe people can change – all people.
What do you mean, it’s August?
On March 11 of this year we were planning a birthday party for my husband (13th) I had hired someone to Spring clean the house; off to the doctor for my regular blood draw to check my thyroid – then home to wrap gifts, order the cakes, etc. etc. etc. Except as I was leaving …
