My wife started the Christmas list tradition when we got married. I didn't like it at first. Then my son asked for cowboy boots.
Who They Are Now
Further In
I told my wife I feel like I'm complaining about something I'm grateful for. In 2016 I was burned out and praying to get out. This year I'm praying to get further in, and I'm more tired than I expected.
The Second Ask
A man on the sidewalk asked me for lunch money, then asked a second question I had never heard before. I walked away with the better end of the deal.
When Oklahoma Stops Being Home
I love Oklahoma, except in tornado season. Two near misses, 1999 and 2013, and why we lock down instead of driving tonight.
Tell Me Your Story
Ask someone how their day went and you'll get either a list of facts or a story. The facts tell you what happened. The story tells you what it meant.
