RAIN, RAIN GO AWAY!
We’ve had our share of rain this past week in Lake Woebegone – or at least in the surrounding areas of Minnesota. As we pray that none of it seeps into our now “sold” house, nor into the one we … Continue reading
THE UGLY SIDE OF LIFE

JOIN THE CIRCUS
When I was a kid, I wanted to run away and join the circus – a place where all things glittered and everything seemed perfect. In the center of all of it was the ringmaster, shouting out the next event. … Continue reading
THE SWEAT OF YOUR BROW
