Friend of Suffering

RelationshipsRest and Rejoice
Written By J'Non

J'Non

J’Non’s church home is in Fort Worth, Texas. She loves savoring layers of metaphor like one appreciates a flaky pastry. She finds nature romantic except for all the carnage. She recently has indulged in a fit of adventurous baking with family. She loves solitude, people, and paradoxes.
