L.A.I.R.M.

Emily Burt, one of my best friends and pen pals for years, and I were at some kind of conference or service where a saying came up -- Love Always Inspires Righteous Motives. For years after that, we always signed our letters with L.A.I.R.M.

It's become a little joke with us, but I've always thought it to be really poignant. I hope I always do!

Welcome!

This is a blog for storing superfluous paper from years gone by, and cataloging it all in an entertaining and historical way. Enjoy!
