AMEN, amen, amen! Beautifully put. Your words make my heart swell with love, even for the nasty old Church Ladies who are to be pitied as well as respected in their own right.
Ah yes, you love them as you call them “nasty old Church Ladies.”
That sort of love just transforms souls, don’t you know.
I know I’m on the verge of capitulating after that heartwarming embrace.
