A Walk in the Park

13 Jun

  God grant me the serenity to change things, the ability to accept those things I have changed, and the wisdom to know things are now different. (Yes, I changed the words to the “serenity prayer.”) Every once in awhile we hear someone say something so interesting it manages to stick with us the rest […]
