“Don’t Judge Me” – Our Worst Enemy or Best Friend?

It's a phrase we all use. Sometimes as a joke when we have an oopsy, sometimes as a warning when we're threatened. "Don't judge me" may be silly or serious, but it's always a defense.

God for Dummies, Like Me

DISCLAIMER: We are all dummies when it comes to completely understanding a being as complex and lofty as a deity, including the Christian God. Aside from knowing his favorite cereal (obviously Cracklin' Oat Bran!), I have to admit there are many divine details we must be willing to leave as...

One Way We’re All Deceived

One Way We’re All Deceived

For a guy with a whole mouth full of sweet teeth (why only have one?), I still have to admit that some candy is just nasty. Maybe I'm getting old, or maybe my tastes are being "refined"...just not toward refined sugar as much as before! There's a place by us called The Peanut Store that offers...
