TGIF
Especially now, with the current President's rampant racism. It's important to remember that once upon a time, our President sang "Amazing Grace."

I weep most every day with the frustration that comes with watching the country you love disintegrate into bedlam. All needless and avoidable if those who hate could somehow come to see the light.
