My grandma always did and then she'd laugh and her eyes would sparkle and it was always my favorite 🥰🥰

I feel a little like this when people talk about the Maryland man being a criminal or not. Like, I don't think he was (or we'd be seeing the receipts instead of just words) BUT even if he is-- DUE PROCESS STILL MATTERS. For everyone.

I feel like it's possible I escaped so much damage by having never read a single book by this (and many other) popular 80's & 90's Evangelical authors.

There is a deep satisfaction in it. 😂

Also, for the joy of seeing baby lambs: here is Arrow, our firstborn lamb being held by our firstborn child. ;)

Doesn't she look like a perfect little Flower? 😍
