Four years ago when we were doing the Old Testament in Sunday School, I remember reading the story of Rebekah and how all she had to do was get water for some camels and she found her man.
And I thought – jeez, if only it was really that easy.
I just need to walk around with [...]

Every so often something just strikes me as making no sense whatsoever. My recent car purchase has reminded me of one of my dumb questions.
Why do people think white cars don’t show dirt the way other cars do? The only color of car that won’t show dirt is a dirt colored car. Do these people [...]

I’m in a mood to just really tell people off for annoying me with their stupidity. And I don’t care if they hate me for it.

For the last 30 years, two of the teachers at my school have done a traveling show. It is a huge production and involves the entire fifth grade and one of the fourth grade classes here.

Have you ever seen snow covered mountains on a cloudless night under a full moon? It’s beautiful.

Today was beautiful. The sun was shining. It was the warmest day of the year, 71 degrees. And I didn’t leave school till almost 5:30 today. I had to look and smell nice for a meeting at 7pm, and I didn’t think there would be time for a run. But the weather was just too [...]
