It’s a commercial from Procter and Gamble honoring Olympic mothers, but I thought it was particularly apropos considering the recent Hilary Rosen vs. Ann Romney “mommy wars”. That and, well, mothers can never really be thanked enough: Honestly, though, as much as stay at home mothers have been dumped on lately, I … Read More
Imagining Eternity
Speaking of heaven and what it might be like.
