Every single school should have a school library & a school librarian, to help every single child find the books that will make them readers, and give them all the lifelong benefits of literacy. Libraries & librarians change children's lives FOREVER! #SchoolLibrarianDay #SchoolLibraryMonth

Take a deep breath, friends.

You are loved with an everlasting love.

And if we are loved with an everlasting love, then we can keep moving forward towards love.

I wrote about beginnings, and what happens if we live this complicated, challenging life from a foundation of love and mercy, or of falling short and punishment.

I would be honored if you would read (and if you find it valuable, share).

Friends, outrage is not a Christian practice. Neither is mockery.

Instead gentleness. Kindness. Compassion. Mercy.

We are called to *overcome evil*, an enormously consuming task. But we overcome with goodness. We overcome with love.
