They cannot touch love.
They cannot touch my marriage.
They cannot undo what God has ordained.
In righteousness, morality, and love, my marriage is beyond the reach of their cruel and dirty mouths and hands. All that they do simply shows us who they are.
Because they aren't worthy of defining us.

As kids head back to school, some districts are removing books & inserting religious content into classrooms. We must defend inclusive, fact-based education. Public schools must be places of truth and inclusion, where every child can learn freely. www.usatoday.com/story/news/e...
