The way you move from accusation to release feels measured, almost gentle in its clarity.
That closing stanza settles like a door quietly closing. Beautifully written.

Amen, Brandon.

There’s a beautiful certainty in the way you wrote Grace. A presence that steadies, lifts, and stays. This piece moves with a kind of quiet strength.

If Grace approves of Grace, then that makes my Friday! Thank you.

This feels almost like psalm or a benediction. Gently pointing out grace at every turn. Beautifully written

The liar’s chair is crowded. this is an interesting view of what is going on today.

Powerfully penned, Brandon. Excellent write that is unfortunately filled with a lot of truth my friend. It also reminded me of Johnny Cash’s version of “Hurt” though I know Trent Reznor wrote the song, Cash made it his. He mentioned the Liar’s chair in the lyrics. Nicely done per usual. Appreciate you.
