But I like these neighbors. I care for them. They care for me. Love spreads from house to house, not city to city. And Erin reminds me of that:
I find myself often asking, with Mark VanLaeys in this post, “So What Can We Agree On?” I love the way he looks for answers to this question, moving from an imagined scenario to an actual conversation. Kudos for making the effort!
