You’re love is so good that it is true Because what else could make me feel this way? Who gets to live in the reality that they are unalterably loved? Affection that trumps my striving for perfection You take the law that I never measure up to and fulfill it So that now I am …

Common Joy
I will admit—I do not watch football. I tend to be more interested in spending a free Sunday afternoon creating art and crafting worlds than cheering on my city’s team. As much as I feel like a traitor at times, I do see what these victories are doing to my city, and there’s this hope …
The Father’s Son
