CoviDiaries: Advent & Love.
"Love, actual love, is action. It's a choice... it's continual choosing. It doesn't end after the picture is snapped and saved and even shared and, funnily, "loved" by others. It's…

@myeastofedenTo borrow a line from Drake: I’m more than just a number. But if I had to pick one, I’d be a 7 — not perfect, just honest about it.
I’m Alisha: 30, a Christ-follower, married to my husband Keiron, and mom to our daughter Zoe. East of Eden is where I write weekly about faith, culture, and relationships — a curious mix of the relevant and reverential, covering everything from religion and politics to pop culture to the quieter, more personal stuff.
