“I saw how Jesus didn’t treat women any differently than men, and I liked that. We weren’t too precious for words, dainty like fine china. We received no free pass or delicate worries about our ability to understand or contribute or work.

“Where you go, I shall go; where you die, I shall die, and there will I be buried.”
