I began this post a week ago and have been having trouble finishing it, but I have stuck with it because I feel like it’s important – important for me certainly. It’s got a lot of the things that have been bubbling up in my mind these days – things that I need to get […]
Continue reading →I’m having a little difficulty settling on something to write about today. I find myself thinking about Syria, but I don’t really want to write about that. One of the byproducts of following the Trump administration is that I get caught up on a lot of other current events as they happen, and I saw […]
