Caption: “I learned I need to love my enemies. And lucky you, are the closest thing I have to one!”
“Enemies” is such a strong word for me. Enemies sound like someone is ready to blow me up or engage me in a sword deal on my way to work. Sure, people get on my nerves. I get on people’s nerves. Perhaps that’s the closest I come to loving an enemy. I better get started.
Boy to teacher: “The computer scanner ate my report.”
I remember only one time when I messed up on getting my homework done. The teacher made sure it never happened again. My ears are still ringing from the tongue lashing she gave me.
The nice thing about technology is it gives a whole new range of excuses. But don’t bet on getting away with them!
The snow was bad enough here to close the schools yesterday, today and tomorrow. However, if this wasn’t the case, I wonder if my son would have a similar conversation tomorrow as he waited for the bus.

Boy to Pastor: “But why doesn’t our church reach out to super heroes?”
