“In this very room…
…there’s quite enough love, for one like me. And in this very room, there’s quite enough joy, for one like me.” It’s Sunday. It’s a day for me, that is filled with Spirit, God, and a touch of self-loathing. Because it is on these holy days that I feel unworthy of the Love that surrounds…
