Lock Your Doors (MM #2175)

Today’s message is simple; lock your doors. Last week a Nashville woman was killed in her home. The intruder entered the house because her door was unlocked. I’ve always had a thing about making sure my doors were locked. I just don’t understand…

Parking Garages (MM #1907)

I know that they freak some people out, but I’ve never really had any issues with parking garages, until yesterday. The day I got stuck in a parking garage. And when I mean stuck, I mean unable to exit! It was the strangest thing. And the ‘solution’ was even stranger…

Over the weekend my wife and I did something we don’t often do, we took a walk in the park. We were visiting Nashville’s famed Centennial Park to see some of the sculptures currently on display. As soon as we got there I quickly remembered why I don;t spend a lot of time in the…
