A Threat to Faith

1745) When I was young, I got into a fight or two with my siblings. I remember one in particular with my older brother. I don’t remember what we were fighting about but I hit him in the back as hard as I could. This ticked my brother off and I ran down the hall

A Need For Silence

1744) For many years, I was not a morning person, but that changed when we adopted our first dog. Through the years, I’ve had 4-legged alarm clocks. For some reason, my dogs have decided if they’re up, we all need to be up. Therefore, I am now a morning person. I like early morning because
