New Blog Post: The Sting of Rejection

The Sting of Rejection
It’s been a week and it’s only Wednesday. Sunday I felt the sting of a 16-year old mortification-friend-rejection again in Costco. Jared is right: there are people who cannot handle me …

Laundry Day is Probably Going to be Four Days Long
