Psalm 4

Tiny Perfect Things

February 20, 2021 Susan

James and I watched a movie recently titled “The Map of Tiny Perfect Things”. It is a incredibly cute “Ground Hog Day”-esque movie with a couple of teenagers stuck in the time loop. It is, overall, a family friendly movie that can be enjoyed by just about everyone. The reason why I am posting about… Continue reading Tiny Perfect Things
