Someone Else’s Sheets
I’m in Huntsville, AL this week for a business meeting. The first flight (to Cincinnati) was decent except for the last 20 minutes when I thought I was going to die (insane turbulence that was lifting me off of my seat). The second flight was a piece of cake. I had dinner [...]
Motivation? Not So Much
There was a time when I could “beat my body into daily submission”, to quote the apostle Paul (1 Corinthians 9:27). I could force myself to get up when the alarm went off at 5am, without complaint or snooze button. I could work well into the night at housework after working all day doing work [...]

Our Disney Vacation (Again!)
We had so much fun at Disney World last year that we decided to go again for our anniversary this year. For those who didn’t know, we got married on my birthday (02/02), so it’s a two-for-one.
