I am truly losing my mind.
About a month ago, I got a wedding invitation from a friend who used to go to my church. Soon after, I got a wedding invitation from another church friend. I intended to go to both, but did not RSVP immediately because I honestly did not know my [...]

Today, my co-worker and I were commiserating about the demands of our job. We consoled each other about the stress we were feeling, and the sometimes drudgery of having to meet deadlines and crank out brief after brief. No one ever said the legal profession is easy.
The difference between my co-worker and I, though, is [...]

“And who is the Rock except our God?” — 2 Samuel 22:32

The ability to see the big picture is so important. Not that details are unimportant. I am borderline anal-retentive myself, so I can appreciate attention to detail.
