quell the risings of [my] heart

I’ve blogged this previously on an old blog, but reread it tonight and ahh it still gives me shivers: there is just something so powerful about someone’s words written over 200 years ago that can still reach into the depths of someone and grasp their heartstrings! At Dover Cliffs, July 20th 1787On these white cliffs, … Continue reading quell the risings of [my] heart

See What I did there?

Yesterday I got to attend a Southern California Youth Convention Planning meeting. I was one of about eight people who were in this meeting.
