8,064 Ways

Most of my life complaining came very easy to me. I could always pick out the flaw in ANY given situation. Yeah so what if I made straight A’s in school, someone else made 100’s on everything. As I got older the scenarios changed but the propensity was still there-...

Satan Desires to Sift You Like Wheat

I Hate Lukewarm Coffee

I Hate Lukewarm Coffee

I hate lukewarm coffee. As a matter of fact, if my coffee starts to get close to room temperature while I’m reading my Bible or whatever, I’ll go and pour it out. I only like my coffee hot or cold because it tastes awful at room temperature. Actually, I have to hold...

Just Say No to the Peanut Butter

Just Say No to the Peanut Butter

It never fails. Every time I decide to sneak a huge spoonful of peanut butter into my mouth someone inevitably walks into my office and asks me a question. I struggle to gracefully swallow the huge glob quickly but that never goes well. I smack and come dangerously...
There’s No Such Thing as a Safe Adventure

There’s No Such Thing as a Safe Adventure

I didn’t mean to misjudge the dang pavement and fall to my knees in a very unladylike fashion and yell “Oh my God!” on my way down and follow it up with a complete roll over to my side. I think I just laid there in a fetal position for a few seconds wondering if I...
