Sorry. You can't have it. You're not new.

Do you watch those new employees with their shiny new company padfolio and you can't have one because you've been working forever? Here's a trick that will work. It'll cost you a few dollars but you might even get a better and more useful item than what HR is giving away. With the office supply... Sign in to see full entry.

Another surreal event

I haven’t kept in touch very well with the folks I went to high school with. We all went in separate directions and I am in touch with a few but not everyone I ran around with during those times.

My encounter with the frog's leg

We were in Hope, AR at the Western Sizzlin' Steakhouse. They were kinda sneaky about the buffet. The frog legs were next to the chicken wings. So I grabbed some of both thinking the frog legs were a different flavor of chicken wing. Weeeeelll none of the food I tasted was very well seasoned, but you... Sign in to see full entry.

The almost stepson/brother

Mom dated a preacher for a while. This man had a few sons. I was talking with one of them and he said, "I had a job and then my girlfriend got pregnant. So I started getting into clergical stuff."

Heavenly Delta Force

There's this guy. And he pretty much spends every moment he's around others prying, tattling, listening in on conversations, and generally being an obnoxious, contentious jerk. So one day he was prattling on about something and said he had invited Jesus into his heart. So I'm thinking er would that... Sign in to see full entry.

LOL! I am not surprised

20 years ago I worked for a beeper company and we had Federal Government agencies as customers. Their bills were constantly aging past 30 days. We joked about sending the IRS to outside collections but decided against it. Well the policy of not paying for services on time has finally come around.... Sign in to see full entry.

Gross vs. Net: Thoughts on Tithing

The question came up years ago whether as Christians we should tithe out of the gross or the net pay. The "conservative" bunch wants us to all think that you take 10% of the gross and the government just does whatever about their part. Well pay wasn't handled the way we do now when Jesus was in the... Sign in to see full entry.

Road Rage

A man was being tailgated by a stressed out woman on a busy boulevard. Suddenly, the light turned yellow just in front of him. He did the right thing, stopping at the crosswalk, even though he could have beaten the red light by accelerating through the intersection. The tailgating woman was furious...
