Road Hazard

I am driving down the highway when someone passes me, pulls into my lane with less space than I am comfortable with, and then presses on their brakes. This is one of my pet peeves because of the danger that is involved. But I have a choice at this point. I can get angry andContinue reading “Road Hazard”

More Than These?

Love comes with some costs. We must sacrifice some things to demonstrate our love. Selfishness, pride, self-centeredness, and envy must be placed on the altar before we can truly love.

Irrevocable

It is surprising to me how many things in life are revocable. Don’t pay your mortgage and the bank will foreclose and take back the property. Practice infidelity and the marriage promises made at the altar are often made null and void. Commit a serious crime and many of the rights and privileges of citizenshipContinue reading “Irrevocable”
