For the first time in about 10 months I am going to finally see my parents and some other family this weekend. Hooray! But let me tell you, I am weary!

Guys, I am physically and emotionally exhausted by the sadness hitting the newsfeeds right now. I really wanted to write a post about the Catholic View on Racism, but it will have to wait until next week. It’s just too much right now.
