I’m staying with some friends after being unexpectedly displaced from a housing situation.

Friday Five- School Days
May marks the end of many academic years. If we are scrolling through our newsfeed, we’ve begun to see photographs of our friends and family members in their caps and gowns. For me, there are days in which I miss taking a class to continue my education, whether the course is in theological studies or… Read More
