i also watched and cried and took notes and felt more clarity about why i mourn the loss of the community of my heritage and it feels so freeing to pour out unconditional and holy love while

" walking in the steps of Jesus who never shunned anyone." thank you for both of these open letters. rick and vicki are massively loved.
