I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

A PERSONAL FAVOR
A number of years ago I discovered that my wife has a memory like an audio visual recording Rolodex. She remembers conversations we had the first week we met. My memory is not nearly that good. In fact relative to my wife’s my memory is horrible.
Here in this community, it is challenging remembering who said what, especially without a feature that allows us to search by name for peoples past comments.
My memory works by geography. That’s my filing system.
If you would be willing,…
Hail, Roland, from the Formerly Confederate, now Great Blue State of Virginia, Loudoun County! (Call Washington, D.C. my hometown)
Didn’t L’Enfant do a rather nice job with DC? Although I admit I am also a big fan of Olmsted.
An excellent job as did Lafayette and several other French military figures helping Washington in another theater of the operation. I'm currently still down in Provence but don't tell my GPS.
Provence! My husband and I are headed there as soon as the Pandemic allows us to travel.
Anywhere in particular?
We are focusing on Cotes du Rone, Avignon and Arles, trying to avoid cities. We loved the hill towns we visited in Tuscany and Greek villages in the Peloponneses. That's the vibe we're looking for. We are novices but trying to see as much as we can before we age out.
Just wander and take your time.
St. Remy was our destination on my first trip to France. We used it as a base and went to Arles, Avignon, Cassis, Aix and so on. I was a little cocky, having brushed up on my years of studying French, but was totally surprised how much I’d apparently stored in my cells and therefore understood. I am desperate to go back. (I happened to read Peter Mayle’s first book while in Provence and found it perfectly descriptive. His other books are as good.)
May I suggest the book "A Woman of no Importance" by Sonia Purnell. It's the true story of an American Woman who was a spy in WWII. Much of it takes place in her favorite country, France!
