Rotary Dial

I went on a walk today, finally. I've cooped myself in the apartment for the last couple of days. I browsed inside a flea market and stumpled across an old rotary dial phone.

I thought in reality, he had a good heart and made choices through his empathy for others. I was also dealing with conflicts in my faith and issues such as abortion, etc... Sometimes, faith and politics don't always congeal on every single issue many people may feel conflicted.  (I'm a Pope Francis person... I would like to think of myself as leading first with compassion.) At the time, I had been in graduate school and getting free tuition for being a graduate assistant a...
