They say the road to hell is paved with good intentions. I don’t think that is theologically sound, but I do understand the truth that we as humans tend not to follow through on our intentions. I know that I am walking the path to eternal life in heaven, yet I find myself frustrated with... Continue Reading →
The older I get, the more I seem to give way to my silly side. Perhaps I have become more comfortable with who I am and realized there is no sense in trying to fight it. Last month, I may or may not have been seen walking around the office with a Christmas decoration on... Continue Reading →
