Wisdom Wednesdays
The last time we “talked” I was sitting alone in the desert, asking God how I should explain what happens when we read our Bibles (see Monday’s post “Why Should I Read Something That Is 2000 Years Old?!”).

When I first started practicing law, we lived in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. We lived in Oklahoma for five wonderful years. I loved the people I worked with and the friends I met. People are just “real” in Oklahoma. Another thing I love about Oklahoma is the way people talk. I picked up the best phrases! One … Read more
