See that kid? Evil. Pure evil. A couple of weeks ago, I gave him my cell phone to keep him quiet in a church meeting. It was on silent and locked. All of a sudden, I heard beeping. Loud beeping. The kind of beeping that would indicated someone has called 911 on your phone (don’t […]

I was at a meeting Saturday night in the only car big enough to hold all of us. Apparently BC forgot how to make sandwiches and/or Ramen, so he ordered Chinese food to be delivered. The kids each got a sesame chicken kids meal. BC finished up his Singapore noodles and sent the kids up […]
