When the Ball Pops
The depth of hurt and pain is hard to bear. How does one process the pain so deep below the surface?

Questions on Love
1 Corinthians 13 If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 IfContinue reading “Questions on Love”

Rodeo Business
A buddy of my had a great response when I asked if he would let me practice on him quoting insurance. He mentioned that he was “uninsurable” because of his underground rodeo business.
