the sound

Do you hear it? Listen real closely... you don't hear it?

Okay... stop.... close your eyes.... and listen. Hear it now?

Yeah, I thought so. It's beautiful isn't it?

A slight whir of the air conditioner .... an ever so light click of the ceiling fan turning....

A little traffic in the distance far off....

Other than that........ silence.

And so the School Year Begins.

coffee

I have to take issue with something. Dave Ramsey... love him. usually. But, today... I got an email from him (not because we're personal friends but because we've paid to take his FPU class)... and he had the NERVE to say that coffee is not a necessity. it is a luxury. I'm contemplating my open letter to him. Something like this... Dear Dave, Although I appreciate all that you have done in your life and ministry, I have to take issue with one point. Coffee is not a luxury. How can I ask my husband to extend a special line item in our budget for Starbucks when you continue to claim that it is a luxury?
