I Think I Just Signed My Own Death Warrant

I just got a call from a lovely woman named Hazel. She asked me to serve on the church’s Publicity Committee. In 2009. While I readily agreed, I somehow feel that tempts fate just a bit. I know that when Man plans, God laughs. Perhaps since this plan is one of service to God He [...]

When Blogging Is Stealing

I read a lot of web logs. My favourites are the ones where people take the time to write out their thoughts or tell a short story. Sometimes I enjoy videos.
