Crisp autumn morning Exploring with the current We’ll go everywhere I enjoy writing haikus. The only thing I know about them is 5-7-5, so forgive me if they’re not following any other standards.

So, while I personally will pray for those who persecute us, I’m hoping that our government willContinue reading “We Will Never Forget”
