{ I get paid to lie down on the job.  Smart, right?} Once again, the entertainment obsessed population of the US wants something – or more accurately, many things – that cannot reasonably be had, seeing as how having them breaks laws and breaks the bank.   Parts of this list have been packaged under the heading… [Read more…]

All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes, but the LORD weighs the spirit. Proverbs 16:2 ESV I like this Bible verse because it expresses well the importance of self-examination.
