Something deep within me cries to be unflappable. But, as this incident from years ago reminds me, flapping can lead to laughing.
A validation blessing
“O my dove, in the clefts of the rock, in the hiding places of the mountain crags, let me see your face, let me hear your voice; for your voice is sweet, and your face is lovely.” (Song 2:14 NET)
