Just for fun!
Patty Duke and Eve of Destruction
I know it will be hard to believe, but when I was in the 5th grade, I was the skinniest kid at Shady Oaks Elementary School in Hurst, Texas. And possibly the least athletic kid in the universe, in the history of mankind. I never understood how I could be outside all the time, running […]
Adventures in Commode
Okay, so I think I’ve gotten past the “embarrassed to the point of total mortification” stage to talk about it now. A few weeks ago, on a normal, uneventful Sunday morning, I was standing in the choir room at 8:20, getting ready to go on stage to worship. All of us choir members normally gather […]
