Mama America was very beautiful in her young days
Oh, but how pain and hardship has made her age.
She has watched her children suffer
At the cruel words and hands of one another.
Many of America's children make her proud
As they learn to escape the ominous cloud
Of bias, self-hatred, and sin
To discover the brilliance of God's Spirit within
Children of America, you need to rethink
Your life's language and listen to your Father speak
His words of salvation and peace
Granting you a treasure that you will never have to seek.

Why Indie and Otis Came to Love OllieSupported by: Ollie
Like most dog moms, the best part of my day is the time spent with my dogs. I have an 8 year old Pittie mix named Indie and a two year old Frenchie mix named Otis. Indie is my soul dog and the love of my life. She has inspired me to become a photographer, a business owner, and a creator, among other things. She is the smartest and most loyal creature who selflessly makes sure that I’m happy above all else. Most of the time, she knows how I’m feeling before I do. When we’re together, she’s my shadow–never more than a few inches from me at all times.
