Tenderness is the highest form of spiritual maturity. All parents know that your kids will soon forget what you told them… but they will always remember how you made them feel. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ May 2019 be many-times blessed, for all of you, in a depth of worth and tenderness.

The death penalty has been an abject failure. It discriminates based on the color of your skin or how much money you make. It’s ineffective, irreversible, and immoral. It goes against the very values that we stand for — which is why CA is putting a stop to this failed system.
