I couldn‘t stop thinking that we don‘t spend much time⬇️

pickI had seen the movie and was a little familiar with the authors story. It was good to read this and get more of the story and more details. The Equal Justice Initiative does amazing and much needed work. Thankful for the work they are doing.
so-soNot my favorite by her so included some pictures from Cinque Terre Italy!
pickJoe spends a month in Texas, visiting his brother in prison, death row, before the scheduled execution date. Told in verse, this is an amazing and gut-wrenching story about family, forgiveness, and fortitude.
