The Lights Are On . . .
Was it only a week ago that North Texas experienced the Storm of the Century? It wasn't quite a Stephen King story, to the best of my knowledge there wasn't a demonic killer with a wolf-head cane saying, "Give me what I want, and I'll go away." That's not exactly correct. They may not have ...

I Learned the Truth . . .
. . . on Thursday night.
It wasn’t planned, I didn’t go in search of enlightenment, but as Thursday turned to Friday and I began to look back over the previous two and a half days and the months leading up to them I found myself making mental notes, things that I had been reminded of ...
