Thought Of The Day

It kinda sucks that some people pay the price for the mistakes of others. So often people will do things that requires changes for a whole operation and a new policy that inconveniences those who are following the rules. Frustrating, just frustrating.

Self Love And Praise

Hi, If I praised and give myself positive reinforcement would any of you consider it to be narcissistic or self-serving? I am not always one to praise me for being me. These days I think I need it.

Holy Water

What a cool sign for a coffee place. Mad Priest in Chattanooga does do a great cup of coffee.

Today Is Ash Wednesday


Ash Wednesday is a Christian holy day of prayer, fasting, and repentance. It is preceded by Shrove Tuesday and falls on the first day of Lent, the six weeks of penitence before Easter.

I will be observing Ash Wednesday today at my church. I also have to figure out what to give up and/or take on as a part of this 40 day journey to Easter.
