I loved seeing this about David Platt! I didn’t know anything about him, except a quote of his Iove- “orphans are easier to ignore before you know their names. They are easier to ignore before you see their faces. It is easier to pretend they’re not real before you hold them in your arms. But once you do, everything changes.”
