Stumbling Block
Suppose it is in the middle of the night. You have to go to the bathroom. Everything is very dark with just a little light so that you can make out where to go. You don’t turn on a light because you don’t want to bother anyone else in the house. You are moving along […]

Do you remember bad things that people have done to you or said about you? I remember a certain boy that picked on me and bullied me when I was in elementary school. I remember people who have said bad things about me. I remember people who have stolen from me. The question should not […]
