Bring Your Best

“Okay, we are almost finished.  Let’s just sweep up our mess and pick up the trash and we’ll be done.” The men worked to clean up after themselves.  They had built a shed for a homeowner, and always made sure that they left the area around the newly constructed shed in better shape than it […]

Comfort Zones

“Just try it and if you don’t like it, you can say you prefer not to.” “I don’t mind the taste so much, as I do the texture,” replied the young man. “Okay, I tried sushi, now can I have a hamburger? “Sure, let’s finish up here and then we’ll go find something you like.” […]

Integrity

“I gave him my word.  I can’t change my mind and go with someone else.  I just can’t.” “Honey, I know that, and I admire your integrity.  You’ll have a great time at the Prom with your date.” “I know the other boy is more popular and all, but I gave him my word.  If […]
