Good morning... She also loved the same profound sentence from yesterday's post, The Mathematics of Love. "Your love has a math that compounds according to the mystical science of the cross."

I keep returning to the close [...]
Good morning... The brutal ugliness of the raging war. The growing death toll after a devastating earthquake. One young mom's grueling journey with advanced colon cancer.
