1 Corinthians 10:13 says: “No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.” Did any of you catch the two-hour special about the Van Ryn/Cerak story on Dateline NBC on Friday? I thought it was really good. If you missed it, you…

I’ve talked a lot here about the Taylor van crash, and the subsequent mix-up in identities of Laura and Whitney. Tonight I discovered that the VanRyn and Cerak families have written a book entitled “Mistaken Identity” about their story. It looks good; I can’t wait to read it.

how I avoid road rage

This job is the longest commute I’ve had – about 40 minutes. Unfortunately, none of it is on highway so I’m often stopped at red lights and in crawling traffic. This hits me more often on my drive home; usually my drive to work isn’t as bad, and I’m half asleep so I’m more laid-back. :-) I used to listen to a morning show that I really liked, but 40 minutes a day got too much for me.
