Can't sleep
I've been tagged :)
It is 1:07 AM and I'm having a hard time sleeping because I am distressed and pissed at something going on in the church. It's one of those political things that detracts a pastor from the work of being a pastor. I seem to spend half my week in conflict management.
So, this is the way it works. Knock the top name off the list below. Add yours to the bottom.
