Time to rejoice
The glasses have been found! Under a foot locker which is stored under my desk! Now I really feel like the woman in the Scripture!
The True Measure of Love
Observation has told me that for some women the measure of a man is whether he could compete to grace the cover of Gentlemen’s Quarterly. Other women are less concerned about a man’s fashion sense (as long as he’s well groomed) and more concerned with character. The actions of My Midnight Man [MMM] …
