Truth helps me see clearly.
A note from Mimi · sample wording for review
Pull up a chair, Porchlight Friend.
Echo loves a good question. Verena helps us pause and look thoughtfully. Together, we can practice noticing what a picture or story shows, what it leaves out, and how to seek the truth with a steady heart.
“Truth helps me see clearly.”
