Jesus, Cats, and Ceremonies
Today’s chuckle is about little kids and the church ordination of baptism. The very mention of it takes me back to the summers of my childhood and those long afternoons spent swimming with my sisters and our friends in a small community pool in Tallulah, LA.

Have You Ever Been Good and Lonely?
Have you ever been good and lonely? I know it sounds like an oxymoron, but it happens to me a lot and (bad pun straight ahead), I don't think I'm alone.
