I saw this story over the weekend about a man that actually stabbed himself to get out of going to work (see video clip here)! How incredibly sad that someone would go to such great pain to avoid work! It made me think of when I was a kid and would pretend to be sick to avoid going to sch

I try to read a chapter of Proverbs every morning. I'm thinking if I were to heed the truths in Proverbs more often I'd avoid a lot of heartache and frustration. :o) How easily I forget or reason out why to do what is contrary. In light of yesterday's post about Responsibility and not
