I wanted her to tell him … [Read more...]

The other day I went into the gym and got on the treadmill. I was a little rushed for time and I remember being annoyed that I didn’t have time in my schedule to do all of the things that I wanted to do. My attitude was not good. I should mention that this was the day before Thanksgiving and the reason I was rushed was because I had been trying to finish up my work before we were to leave town for the holiday. We were headed to the hill country to visit my uncle … [Read more...]
