Invisible Girl
Do you remember "the girl"–your FRIEND–who was absolutely, positively drop-dead gorgeous back in college, and on your BEST-lookin’ night out she could STILL reduce you to, I dunno, one of those "after meth" poster girls, or a...
Losing, Winning and Happy Endings
At the brink of b e c o m i n g a t e e n a g e r, to Thomas image is everything. He values externals and often judges a book by its cover. I can preach, I can teach and I can model otherwise, but for now, he's a kid, and while I don't like...
I was robbed today…
Literally :(. My car was parked eight spaces from the road, beside the church building where I was at a Bible study…a church parking lot. Broad daylight. My car was backed into the space, so the front was facing out, and as I walked to it I...

Why I’m Glad I’m Not In School Anymore
Rachel: "Daaaa-ad……I need help with polynomials." Tad: "I can promise you, I’m much better with polynomials at 6 in the morning than I am at 10 at night…" Rachel: blink blink…indicating MUCH...
