Have you ever had one of those weeks where you wish you could stay in bed and hope the troubles of the day would slide by your door? I just had one of those weeks and I started to feel really sorry for myself. But, as I sit in front of my ancient PC, I recognize how truly blessed I am. It is cool in my house, opposed to the amazing, scorching temps outside. I have more than I…
