    Empathy and LOVE is something everyone is lacking right now. Everyone. ALL OF YOU! From both sides of the red and blue… and all the grey areas in between too. Babies are dying from going to get an education…but not getting the protection and outrage they deserve because they just aren’t important enough or don’t…

    I grew up in a biblically religious family. The “Church Of God” Denomination. I questioned many of the beliefs (even then) but quickly learned that wasn’t allowed.
