Hear These Words Of Mine

December 12, 2012 in Christianity, Life Lessons, Openly Gay at a Christian College

As a backstory for this post, I went to a private Christian university.

The club application process was […]

She placed her elbows on the table and tilted her head slightly downward. I could see her starting to wipe the inner corners of her blue eyes, the corners where our tears tend to manifest.
