It’s National Hot Fudge Sundae Day!
Gooey, rich hot fudge dripping off of a scoop... no wait - TWO SCOOPS of mint chocolate chip ice cream. The fudge just warm enough to melt a little of the ice cream as the mint flavor swirls into the thick richness of the chocolate. HOLY COW........somebody get me a...
Stay In Your Own Lane!
The runners are set on their starting blocks. Hands strategically placed on the asphalt. Finish line only 100 short yards ahead. There is no need to remind them to stay in their own lane. It's an unwritten rule. No one would think about veering from their own lane...
U R More.
On the interstate yesterday, we passed this car several times and I just had to have my friend take a picture of this license plate. It said "URMORE". It reminded me of Tenth Avenue North song with the same title. A lot of times we define ourselves by the mistakes...

The Quitters Club – “D” Number 3!
The third "D" in this series is "Doubt". How many times does Doubt cause us to want to quit? We doubt that we can do something. We doubt that things can happen. We doubt our calling or purpose. Doubt breeds self-defeat and nothing good can come from that! Tonight...
The Quitters Club – Round Two
This is day 2 in The Quitters Club series and the second "D" is Disappointed. Have you ever been so disappointed in something or someone that you just wanted to quit? Maybe you have been a fan of the Chicago Cubs ever since you were a little kid. It was a family...
