We had a little pep talk meeting at work today, and they gave out little bags of Cracker Jacks. (Bribe?… anyway, it worked.) I haven’t had Cracker Jacks in ages, having moved on to Crunch N Munch or Poppy Cock or whatever that Archer Farms one is. I try not to buy it because I [...]

I don’t know what to do. For a while now, my husband and I have been somewhat frustrated at church for a variety of reasons. What it boils down to is that it isn’t what we thought it was going to be. The vision and direction are not what we believed we understood them to [...]

Debt
Some thoughts from Galatians…
3:3 “Are you so foolish? After beginning with the Spirit, are you now trying to attain your goal by human effort?”
