Who are You?
In my mind today I’m bufuzzled. I ran across this verse last week, “Who are you?” My brain wants to add o’s and sing it like the band The Who does. Just when you think you have it all figured out, you do or say something and think did that come from my mouth? It’s…

Justice
Students do you remember that rhyme: “1,2 skip a few?” I promise that it’s not what’s happening with our 40 days together.
