I love clever one-liners. Which explains why I still have a pamphlet of 101 clever one-liners that was sent to me by Metropolitan Baptist Church in Fargo when I moved to West Fargo about four years ago.

Searching for respite in sleep…
I went to bed shortly after 8 PM last night. Somehow I thought I would find respite in sleep that was free of dreams. Alas, sleep didn't come easy yesterday. I wanted to remain in bed all day after Bogie's unexpected death, but first the boys came over and then Sarah and Dusty came over [...]
