When I picked up Wild Goose Chase by Mark Batterson, the idea of a spiritual adventure intrigued me. I was looking forward to something new. A year later I’ve realized what influenced me the most from the book involves looking back. In the chapter entitled “A Rooster’s Crow”, Pavlov’s dog-salivation experiment which led to the concept of a “conditioned reflex”, is used to make the point that our lives are “an elaborate repertoire of [...]
This morning I went to a breakfast to talk about politics, development projects and our kids. Since it was a light summer day I threw on a sleeveless sundress and sandals. On the way home I decided to pick up a few things in my usual grocery store. A few aisles into the store, a man stood, stared and said “You are sexy” in a perverted way. I ignored him. As I walked along I [...] Watch out when the stress blows in A few months ago I started to feel sick at work with a headache.

Then she sadly had to admit to the entire email list that she had made a mathematical error. All [...] Oh boy, there’s no camp for one of the kids this week. I’m having flashbacks to three years ago when there was no school and the kid was always home with me. Immediately, I’m thinking of food to pass the time. I was 50 pounds heavier then.
