Thanks f...Laura, I enjoy discussing these with you! Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I really appreciate you bringing this up; I think sometimes, I do get lazy with words and forget to think about the way in which certain words and phrases are charged with meaning or associations that I may not at first think of. This is a really good reminder for me to be mindful about what words/terms I'm using and AnneMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13462442204217572325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2758330335100037759.post-36094469706840007912021-08-06T19:42:28.844-05:002021-08-06T19:42:28.844-05:00I keep wanting to find more time to reply to your ...I keep wanting to find more time to reply to your comment, but mostly just wanted to thank you for sharing more! Unfortunately, I feel like once a term is taken by an organization or movement with negative/immoral/anti-Christian values (such as BLM or CRT) it's really hard to use that term without it being automatically connected with that movement or organization.

People are often (thought not always haha!) uplifted and want to interact in some way when they encounter little ones :) AnneMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13462442204217572325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2758330335100037759.post-38556394038472492542021-08-02T12:55:21.290-05:002021-08-02T12:55:21.290-05:00What a lovely conversation.

It reminds me to be more aware of those around me,like you wrote,to remember that they too are children of God.

(also, how exciting that your relative got to see his son again! What a gift)<br /><br />I appreciate you sharing your thoughts on the racism issue! I find it very helpful to talk it out, so I would love to hear more of AnneMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13462442204217572325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2758330335100037759.post-19769724099988357542021-07-27T08:26:39.138-05:002021-07-27T08:26:39.138-05:00What a precious post.

I also have a relative who recently got out of jail after 6 years and was able to see his son. Like Fulton Sheen said, we are all sinners/criminals in a way...some just get caught.<br /><br />I do disagree about the systemic racism of our country though. Would be an interesting discussion with Laura @ Life Is Beautifulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11217783333084830679noreply@blogger.com
