Fallen Grace

by Sadeqa Johnson

“Godspeed.”

“Where does it say in the Bible that having a baby out of wedlock is wrong?”

“Psalms 127:3–5: ‘Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord. The fruit of the womb is a reward.’

“I had a baby, Mama. I didn’t steal, I didn’t cheat. I didn’t even commit adultery.”
