Advocacy, Amos, and the Quiet Life

I’ll spare you the “2020 amiright?” jokes because we all know this has already been one strange and difficult year so far.

Hi friends! I hope you are enjoyng some spots of goodness and beauty in this weird time we all find ourselves living in.

The storm has claimed 22 lives at the time of publishing, but rescue workers are still out collecting information as they begin the long process of clean up.
