Not Where We’ve Been
In this time of gimme, pushing through people to a moldy, cheesy holiday song One which you have heard so very many times, you hate it, yet you hum along Gimmes stand before stores, hand outstretched and crawl through your mail slot Many of them fill real needs, food and shelter, help people that […]
Then, More Than Ever
