    I hate it when people tell you, “This will change your life forever.” Because it doesn’t.

    It’s the last week of January, and resolutions are meeting reality. All those lovely, grand plans we started the year with are starting to look a lot harder to achieve. Yeah, my resolution was to write more often. I know, I’m not the only writer out there who finds it hard to find time to…

    Or, The Adventures of My Little Red Car I don’t think too many people have heard this story yet, since I was pretty shell-shocked after it happened. Car, Meet Ditch So, I’m on my way to a potluck after church, and the roads are not too great but I’m going under the speed limit (probably…
