Treating somebody poorly, purely for spite or some form of retaliation, seems like a lot of unnecessary energy to expend on somebody who may not deserve that much space in your mind. The golden rule is not about whether someone has the right to be treated better than they have you, it is about discovering grace within yourself and extending it towards all others.

As to why you should, I could use another turn of phrase- “Lead by example”. You had a poor example in how to extend grace to others in the form of your teachers, and you have the opportunity to be a positive example to others in their place.

That pardon lead to a trial in the criminal court of appeals which have now acquitted her of the charges.

She was pardoned in June and has subsequently has been acquitted in the criminal court of appeals.

Happy jamming!

Have you had a listen to Drive-By Truckers? Southern rock without the yee haw rebel pride.

Books!

Also books!

I hope impressionism is your bag.

All sorts of stuff. Books, trinkets, records, art. I like to hit up small regional galleries and local artists exhibits for original art, but I also have a lot of prints and posters as well.

Art gallery gift shops are a fantastic place for high quality prints and posters that don’t break the bank, and then you can spend as much or as little as you like on getting them mounted and on display.

There you go, looks like I was mostly unaware of their importance

They claim one of their dads came up with the name when the girls were like 15.
