![Fantastic read from the summer.
Posting just now because LIFE.
Anything by James McBride is worth reading.
Favorite character line:
"Every once in a while there's a glimmer of hope.
Just a blip on the horizon...something that said,
'Guess what, you so-and-so, I am God's child.
And I.Am.Still.Here.'"
You're still here.
I'm still here.
What will we do today
to live the truth that we're God's children
and we belong?
What will we do today
to ensure the belonging of others
who don't share our privileges?
