...her that she had a hard heart. Imagine her reaction! The State of Our Own Hearts In reality, the lining of her heart has become hard. It is a real condition. “After all, I am 91 years old,” she said. But to have devoted herself to examining the state of her heart, to addressing her own hard heartedness and then to get this news.
