Although I’m fluent in evangelicalese and speak a smidgen of Catholic, I only know a few phrases of Mainline. Usually, I can work out the meaning, but I need a translator to figure out what Michelle Obama was saying on a recent appearance of the Tom Joyner Morning Show:
It means all the world to us to know that there are prayer circles out there and people who are keeping the spirits clean around us .
I’ve never heard that phrase before. Anyone know what it means?
