We've all been there. (Whether we admit it or not.) Someone cuts you off in traffic. Or you get stuck behind the person who thinks the speed limit is a friendly suggestion, as they proceed to drive 20 miles an hour below it. Getting angry about it just ain't worth it! You see the news … Continue reading Anger Management
This weekend I get to drive 35 miles one way, over 2 mountain passes to do my quarterly stock up shopping at the closest Super Walmart. It is usually an all day ordeal—driving, filling two carts, loading the car, driving, unloading the car, putting all the stuff away.So this week's post is going to be … Continue reading Short and sweet
You may remember the commercial that said, "Not going anywhere for awhile? Grab a Snickers." I was thinking of this when I heard the song on the radio this week, Burn the Ships, by For King and Country. You may have heard the story of Cortés and the burning of his ships. In the year … Continue reading Burn the ships
When you are passionate about someone, you express it by showing how much they mean to you. You go above and beyond what is normal, because of your intense love for them.

Rest easy, dear readers, this is NOT another tale from the ranch! But it does involve scorpions! (So reader discretion is advised.) Scorpions are predatory arachnids. (ie: spiders!) They have eight legs, and are easily recognized by a pair of grasping pincers and a narrow, segmented tail, often carried in a characteristic forward curve over … Continue reading Scorpions
I got a telemarketer who called my office so good the other day! He started reading from his script, very monotone in his speech, and then asked if the owner was there. I replied, “Yes I am, and I did the job exactly as you told me to, but there's blood everywhere! What do you … Continue reading Dead weight
I always feel sorry for that poor guy named Will. You know, when in the movies, the person in charge says, “Fire at will!” Fire at will is a command given to allow the troops to fire when they are ready. They use their discretion and choose their targets. It gives the soldier a greater … Continue reading Pink Slip
I recently had one of those situations, where I was caught up in the moment, and the words just slipped out of my mouth. But I was not embarrassed by what came out. I was outside shoveling snow. It was so peaceful and quiet, and I was just quietly praising God. I got so caught … Continue reading It just slipped out!
A man walks into a bar, shadily dressed in a trench coat with the collar pulled up and a fedora pulled down over his face. A livid scar runs down his cheek, and his two tone shoes are dangerously polished. In his hands he's carrying an accordion case. The bar falls completely silent. All of … Continue reading Hold your breath
