Family… a miniature circus.

Monday, January 14th, 2008

What is a family? Other than being the God ordained institution designed to be a refuge from the evils of this world, and by which we help our offspring hopefully replicate Godly traits generation after generation… I like to reckon it somewhat to a miniature circus. Semi-controlled chaos. Shoes, clothes, and toys […]

I put my garbage out tonight for pick up tomorrow morning. I still get the same twinge that I got when I was a teenager in SC… that wild dogs are going to come over and rip apart my garbage. Throw it all over the yard/street. Not so much “wild dogs”, but local dogs roaming […]
