Being Humbled: Car Edition
Wednesday night after Bible class a friend was standing by my car and made a comment about the items inside. My car is like a big glorified purse. I use it as storage. I carry things I don’t necessarily need. I am the girl scout of drivers. I have things for emergencies. Things for emergencies…

Childhood Comforts
As a kid one of the most comforting memories I have is being carried to bed. I loved to “fall asleep” in the car and get carried to bed. If I stayed asleep, or kept my eyes closed, I could get a free ride up the stairs. I was thinking recently, as I dozed, man…

So… in Eudora, Kansas there is a festival to celebrate the CPA (Central Protective Agency). Originally made by farmers to protect cattle and livestock from thieves, they now continue to honor the history of the town with a festival and parade. How cute is that? That’s my kind of CPA. It’s happening this weekend. Eudora,…

Narcotics
When I was in high school I had my wisdom teeth out (like most folks in the US do) and I was given some heavy painkillers. I have had teeth pulled a LOT in my life (allegedly my mouth is too small… thanks modern American diet and lack of nutrition). So… I was no stranger…
