Backseat Drivers

1665) I don’t think I know of anyone who enjoys having a backseat driver. You know, the person who tries to tell you, sometimes assertively, how you’re supposed to be driving? I know. I hear you grinding your teeth. Has it ever occurred to you you might be called by God to be a backseat

Proud or Horrified

1664) There have been some school years when I would jump at the opportunity to take a class on a field trip. Other years, it would be the last thing I would do. You see, I don’t want to take my class somewhere if they don’t know how to behave. It reflects badly on them,

What a Rip-off

1663) Several years ago, there was a company which had the store policy that you could return something that breaks or rips to get a replacement.

Veils

Complaining Examined

1656) Have you ever noticed when taking part in small talk with a group of friends how one complaint can lead to another? From time to time, I will and when I’m noticing, I see the conversation lowering beneath the profitable side. These conversations are not helpful. Why? Because when we complain, we are stating

Timing is Everything

1656) Time is an important thing in our world. We have appointments, dates and schedules that hinge upon the clock, often timed to the minute. Add to this texts and instant messages.
