Egg Hunt

Egg Hunt
We had an Egg Hunt before church this morning. It’s so ill-prepared I just want to scream. I have had some disagreements in the past with the woman who was running the whole show, and came out of my Adult Sunday School class to see if I could help her. The whole thing was [...]

Every Trainwreck

Possible subtitles for this post include:

Maturity. What to do when you get it and your former friend doesn’t.

Don’t get caught up in every emotional trainwreck that comes your way.

Effects of “Life before Christ” trying to bite me in the butt… but guess what! My Guy wins every time!

Jack the Quack

Jack the Quack

Scene 1:
I was talking with a dear friend the other day. This was the exact quote that fell from their lips. [Note: You don't have to ID yourself if it was you, just read on.]

Too Much!!!

The party was great. Only 20 people showed, but they stayed for 4 hours, so that makes up for a lot, doesn’t it?
I played basketball with Will and Andy and had a great time.
Will told me, “You shoot exactly like Shaquille O’Neal…. seriously, you should be his wife.”
“That’d be kind of difficult,” I said.
Will, looking [...]
