It’s All Very Beer To Me Now

The topic that was handed down to me this week, was actually handed down to me last week, but I have been so busy that I have not had a chance to write it until now. That being said, I believe it was supposed to be something about what my favorite, and least favorite, types

I Believe, But I Have No Faith

BE-LIEF Noun 1. An acceptance that a statement is true or that something exists. 2. Something one accepts as true or real; a firmly held opinion or conviction. Seems like a pretty simple word with a very straightforward definition. However, it really isn’t that simple, is it? As I read this definition I couldn’t help

Be Mindful

When I logged onto my blog this morning, I was really trying to figure out what I wanted to write about, because it had been so long since I’d written anything. I bounced around and looked at my stats page, which tells me how many views each blog gets. Then I looked at some comments

Just 1 Of The 17,065 Days Of My Life

I have no idea how the day started. We we’re at a campsite in upstate Idaho. We had been at Yellowstone National Park for a few days and this was a pitstop on our way back home. I do remember that it was a beautiful sunny day, sometime around August 5th, which was my birthday.
