Daddy Long Legs My wife tells this funny story of how she once chased a guy much taller than her after realising that he lied to her to get some money. This happened years ago after we got married. I remember how I thought she was both brave and, just possibly a little unwise during…

I remember as a boy, there were a few times I tried to bargain with God. If he would just answer my prayer and let me have that blue BMX or this Atari video game console, I would do some things for him in return. Do you know what I used for a bargaining chip?…
