Priorities
As time goes on, we begin to take the conveniences of life for granted. We refuse to go to gas stations without “pay at the pump.” We don’t even think about using a human cashier when we can ring up […]
My Cup is Full
I have a pretty boring wardrobe. I tend to wear a lot of green, blue and beige. But for at least three days in June, I will wear a bright red shirt. It’s time for the World Cup. Since the […]
