Have you noticed that?? We sure know how to blow those tiny things out of proportion, don't we? Wonderful insights - and I LOVE the point that WE are the issue most of the time.

Another rockin’ post, Billy Coffey.

I can never leave here without being convicted of something — while at the same time, often laughing out loud. That’s some kind of writing …
