Ice Cream

Ice cream ROCKS! Of all of the things in the world to eat, this would be my favorite – chocolate flavor, of course. Okay, any flavor . . . with chocolate syrup. When it is in my house, it even calls my name – from the freezer in the basement no less. I can hear it at all times of the day and night, and I succumb.

Door or Window?

Have you ever found yourself telling your children something, and then hearing God whisper in your ear “Have I not told you that at least one hundred times?” Well, this has happened to me more than once.
