Weary of “Well Done?”
The words I hate to hear – “well done.” Don’t get me wrong, I love whenever I get the opportunity to eat steak with my wife. But it hurts buying her a filet mignon when she treats it like that. I’ve tried to convince her to stop using those words and to venture into a…
What’s to do Now that Easter is Over?
What’s to do now that Easter’s over? But is it truly over, Scott? Well, of course not. The knowledge of our Lord’s resurrection should always stay with us.
