A Simple Goodbye.

In yesterday’s post, I mentioned a “gem” of a story I’d read that was going to get me motivated to write again. While that post is percolating away, something came to my attention today that I must address, if only for the sake of my own resilience and faith. I’m going to say this one [...]
